Molecular detection of Schistosoma mansoni complex and Schistosoma haematobium complex within the samples.

PCR Target	Numbers and Proportions of Detections n/n (%)	Mean (SD) of the Measured CT Values	Median (Min., Max.) of the Measured CT Values
Schistosoma mansoni complex	1/268 (0.4%)	37 (n.a.)	37 (n.a.)
Schistosoma haematobium complex	50/269 * (18.6%)	31.0 (1.6)	32 (27, 34)

PCR = polymerase chain reaction. SD = standard deviation. CT = cycle threshold. Min. = minimum. Max. = maximum. n.a. = not applicable. * The denominator is 269 in this case because a positive real-time PCR result was observed even in a formally inhibited sample, and so, this sample was included for this particular assessment.
