Highlights: [•] 77% of 410 school children were PCR-positive for Schistosoma sp. [•] Stool sedimentation microscopy was positive for Schistosoma mansoni eggs in 15%. [•] Sensitivity and specificity estimates for stool sedimentation microscopy: 19.3%, 98.5%. [•] Sensitivity and specificity estimates for PCR: 95.3%, 94.9%. [•] The Bayesian posterior estimate of the prevalence is 80.2%. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
