Abstract
This is a cross-sectional community-based study conducted in El-tawella rural area of White Nile State in Sudan during the period of June - September 2012. The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium among School age children (aged 5-14 years) and to identify the most affected age group. 182 children were selected randomly in two basic schools and investigated for the presence of the parasites and interviewed for frequency and possibility of their contact with contaminated water sources. The prevalence of the diseases among pupils was found 13.2% with statistical significant association with contaminated water contact. The study concluded that the cases of Schistosoma haematobium among School age children in the area are associated with children contact with contaminated water and recommended extensive school health education program, management of positive cases, and in collaboration with local authority to put in place restrictions for children to access those contaminated water sources
