Prevalence rates are percentages of individuals positive by real-time PCR; numbers in parentheses indicate 95% confidence intervals calculated according to the modified Wald method [45]. Humans and livestock do not inhabit Kibale National Park, and non-human primates have been extirpated from Kiko 1 forest fragment [14], so prevalence data are not available for these species/locations.
