Comparisons of stunted and non-stunted children regarding the associated effect of a Plasmodium falciparum (P.f) on mean haemoglobin concentration. The P. falciparum-associated decrease in mean haemoglobin concentration was significant in stunted children; b anaemia on mean P. falciparum parasitaemia. Among stunted and non-stunted children, the anaemia-associated decrease in mean parasitaemia were respectively non-significant; c Schistosoma haematobium (S.h) on mean haemoglobin concentration. The S. haematobium-associated decrease in mean haemoglobin concentration was not significant in stunted and non-stunted children; d anaemia on mean S. haematobium infection intensity. There were no significant anaemia-associated increases in S. haematobium egg intensity in stunted or non-stunted children
