Table 2.
Comparison of the presence or absence of lymphatic filariasis infection indicators in humans (microfilaria) and mosquitoes (filarial DNA) by primary sampling units (PSUs) in Samoa, 2019
| PSU | Total number of PSUs | No. (%) of PSUs with Mf-positive humans | No. (%) of PSUs with PCR-positive mosquito pools | Concordance (%) | Cohen’s kappa statistic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All | 35 | 13 (37%) | 28 (80%) | 40 | − 0.04 |
| Lower Ag prevalence (≤ 2.5%) | 18 | 3 (17%) | 14 (40%) | 17 | −0.21 |
| Higher Ag prevalence (> 2.5%) | 17 | 10 (59%) | 14 (40%) | 65 | 0.20 |
PSUs were stratified by W. bancrofti antigen prevalence
