The prevalence of the mixes infections (FCR3 plus CAMP) cases decrease significantly (p= 0.01) from the low season to the high season;
p- value [comparison of the proportion of FCR3, CAMP and Mixed (FCR3+CAMP) infections during the low transmission season];
p- value (comparison of the proportion of FCR3, CAMP and Mixed (FCR3+CAMP) infections during the high transmission season);
p- value [comparison of the proportion of FCR3, CAMP and Mixed (FCR3+CAMP) infections in the total (low and high season) population];
p- value [comparison of the Geometric Mean of Parasite Density between FCR3, CAMP and mixed (FCR3+CAMP) infections in the total population]
