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 Wbancrofti antigen prevalence
