Baseline Schistosoma haematobium and microhematuria prevalence in the implementation units (IUs) of the SchistoBreak study in Pemba, Tanzania. A, B Schistosoma haematobium and microhematuria prevalence stratified by schools (A) and communities (B) in the 20 IUs of the study area in the north of Pemba, Tanzania. The ID numbers of the schools and communities correspond to the same IU. Asterisks denote those IUs (ID numbers 17, 18, 19, 20) with no main primary school to be included in the survey. Microhematuria was graded as trace, + , ++ or +++ based on the color chart provided by the manufacturer of the haemastix test strips. The red line indicates the threshold for the stratification of the IUs into hotspot or low-prevalence IUs based on urine filtration results
