Comparing the performance of circulating cathodic antigen and Kato-Katz techniques in evaluating Schistosoma mansoni infection in areas with low prevalence in selected counties of Kenya: a cross-sectional study.

Results showed POC-CCA technique as an effective, sensitive and accurate screening tool for Schistosoma mansoni infection in areas of low prevalence. It was up to 14-fold accurate than Kato-Katz which had extremely inadequate sensitivity. We recommend usage of POC-CCA alongside Kato-Katz examinations by Schistosomiasis control programs in low prevalence areas.
