AB  - In Mali, schistosomiasis always remains a major public health problem. In 2005, 
      mass treatment campaigns with praziquantel and albendazole have been organized in 
      all endemic regions. The present study aimed to assess the impact of these mass 
      treatment campaigns and the recipient's satisfaction in two endemic areas (Mopti 
      and Segou). It was a cross-sectional study with one passage from February to 
      March 2006. The study carried out on political authorities (n=142), teachers and 
      school administers (n=70), health workers (n=46), community distributors (n=33), 
      community members (n=2170) and pupils (n=2480). We used Lot Quality Assurance 
      Sample (LQAS) to determine treatment coverage and recipient's satisfaction. Two 
      types of lots were considered, villages and schools. Questionnaires were used for 
      investigation. In Segou, the treatment rates varied from 100% at school level and 
      in community in Bla district to 97.2% in the community of Segou town. In Mopti, a 
      treatment rate of 100% was observed in Bankass and Douentza both at school and in 
      the community. The proportion of happiest individuals (to feel well) after the 
      mass treatment campaign was 72.3% among pupils and 76.6% in the community. The 
      results of this study suggest that the high treatment coverage rates observed 
      during these campaigns should be sustained by a yearly chemotherapy strategy 
      preceded by a community's health education programmes.
