Figure 3. Geometric mean (GM) fecal egg counts according to different diagnostic techniques.
Bar charts indicate the GM of fecal egg counts (as expressed in eggs per gram of stool (EPG) according to different techniques for the diagnosis of S. mansoni (A), hookworm (B), A. lumbricoides (C), and T. trichiura (D) in stool samples from 112 school children from Azaguié-IRFA, Côte d'Ivoire, in June 2008.
