CI, confidence interval; LCI, larval control intervention; R, rate; RR, rate ratio.
a The analysis is based on study children aged 9 months to 13 years, that attended both the first and follow-up visit of a survey and were negative for parasites at the first visit. Data from children who attended only one visit of any survey or were already positive for parasites at the first visit are not included here.
b Children positive for parasites at follow-up divided by children negative for parasites at the first survey.
c Per 1000 child months at risk.
