Schistosoma Haematobium Urine Egg Count Detection Limits

A dataset from figshare calculates the lowest detectable mean urine egg count for Schistosoma haematobium with 95% probability. It was authored by Abraham Degarege and last updated on June 1, 2026. The data explores detection limits across different sample volumes, pool sizes, and diagnostic methods.

Use Cases

• Compare diagnostic method sensitivity based on described sample volume and pool size parameters.
• Design field study sampling strategies based on described detection probability thresholds.
• Validate laboratory test protocols based on the described statistical detection limits.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The dataset has a specific focus on detection limits for a key parasitic disease.
• The author is named (Abraham Degarege), providing attribution.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
