This MDA was performed here, on these 242-pupils, at the start of this schistosomiasis outbreak investigation, however, 45-pupils and dropouts, who had missed this prophylactic dose, were dosed during a culture day celebration at the school, in the Mangwe district, located in the South province of Matebeleland, Zimbabwe, which was depicted in PHIL 19863.
