    Description: The study was done in six districts of Mukono, Jinja, Iganga, Bugiri, Busia and Kalangala. At both mainland shoreline and islands, 271 adult respondents were randomly selected from 17 landing sites of Lake Victoria over a four months period between October 2000 and January 2001. A questionnaire was administered for symptoms of schistosomiasis and samples of stool, urine and blood were taken from respondents. Stool and urine were analysed for schistosome eggs and blood.Blood was analysed for increased eosinophils. Snail samples were collected from various depths along the shoreline of study sites identified and screened for schistosome cercariae.

    Description: Lake Victoria is the largest freshwater body in the tropics and the second largest in the world . Located in East Africa, the Lake is bordered by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. It serves as an important source of both fish for food trade, water for domestic and industrial uses for the surrounding region and a source of hydroelectric power and irrigation among many other resources. All along, focus has been on fishing but any talk on the health of the fishers. This is a break through trial to ,incorporate the health of the fisherfolk community in the rejuvenation of a healthy lake. This study tries to marry the life and health of man with the purely zoological and scientific approaches that have been the tradition, and an oversight over the Lake Victoria basin

    Description: Schistosomiasis a water-borne socio-economically devastating disease commonly found among lake shore dwellers in areas where it is endemic. The Lake basin supports an estimated 30 million people many of them fisherfolk who directly depend on abundant water resources but are often exposed to water-borne diseases including Schistosomiasis. Other water related intestinal bacterial diseases like the salmonellas and Shigellas, do occur at the Lake Victoria basin but are less frequently reported and probably of less importance in comparison to Schistosomiasis. We investigated the prevalence, endemicity ,and epidemiology of the Schistosomiasis including its obligate intermediate host populations at various sites along the shores of northern Lake Victoria over a four month period during the year 2000. The investigation was carried out with the aim of generating information on the intensity and spread of Schistosomiasis. This information will be used in formulating a Schistosomiasis control programme. When put in place, it will enhance positive development in the health of the fisherfolk communities thus reciprocally improve and promote their productive capacities hence incomes.
