In Office du Niger, an area endemic for both Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni in Mali, circulating anodic (CAA) and cathodic (CCA) antigen detection assays were performed on pretreatment serum and urine samples from two villages, Rigandé and Siguivoucé, and compared with egg counting methods. The highest prevalence was obtained with the urine-CCA assay which also had the highest sensitivity to S. haematobium, S. mansoni or mixed infection. A single urine-CCA assay was as sensitive as repeated egg counts (one stool+two urine examinations per individual). When the different assays were tested in parallel, several combinations including assays on serum were found to be highly sensitive. As urine sampling is widely accepted, urine assays ...
