Sketch map of the Sesse Islands (inset) in relation to Lake Victoria, with close up views of the findings of the mapping surveys undertaken in Bufumiri sub-county in January 2010 (left) and November 2010 (right). The islands within this sub-county lie in a NW-SE orientation covering a 25 km distance. With one or two exceptions, the prevalence of intestinal schistosomiasis is broadly high (>50%) across the within sampled children from the 12 shoreline communities.
