Stool samples were examined with Kato Katz technique. The result shows in North Lore, Schistosoma japonicum infection was 1.62 %. Co-infection of Schistosoma japonicum and Ascaris was 0.25 %, S. japonicum and Hook worm 0.18%, and also S. japonicum and Trichuris trichiura 0.06%. In East Lore, the prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum was 3.00 %. Co-infection of S. japonicum and Ascaris 0.82 %, S. japonicum and Hookworm 0.37%, S. japonicum and Trichuris trichiura 0.22%.
