Zusammenfassung:Different environmental conditions can impact the burden of anemia and intestinal parasite infections in human and livestock populations. The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence of anemia and intestinal parasite infections in farmers, family members, and owned sheep in two geographic locations along the Senegal River in June (end of the dry season) and September (rainy season). In Diawara, the prevalence of anemia in humans was high in June (74%) and remained high in September (75%) (p = 0.91). The prevalence of intestinal parasite infections increased from 7% in June to 54% in September (p
