<p><strong>Results:</strong> Of the 2,702 participants included in the study, 2,670 were willing to participate, response rate, 98.8%. Fewer than half 1,293(48.4%) were females. The mean age was 29.5±15.8 years. The prevalence rate of VL was 6.3% (95% CI: 5.4%–7.2%). The percentages of VL coinfection with malaria, S.mansoni, A.lumbricoides, T.trichiura, and hookworm were 7.8%, 10.2%, 6.6%, 3.4%, and 1.2%, respectively. Factors associated with VL infection included age (&lt;15 years: AOR 0.496, 95% CI:0.264–0.932), residing in the Benishangul-Gumuz refugee camps (AOR 3.860, 95% CI: 2.173–6.644), household size (≥5: AOR 1.48, 95% CI:1.022–2.149), having no history of contact with VL (AOR 0.022, 95% CI:0.007–0.065), the presence of termite hills (AOR 2.729, 95% CI:1.770–4.210), and the presence of stagnant water (AOR 2.11, 95% CI:1.405–3.183).</p>
