Results shown are for two hamlets of Kirare (Mtambuuni, Mashine) in survey 1-8, as well as for one hamlet of Kiomoni (Mabavu) and one hamlet of Kisimatui (Majengo) in survey 7 and 8. Results from all four hamlets of Kirare in survey 1-5 are given in [6].
* Geometric mean intensity, in mf/ml blood.
# Number (%) examined for CFA. In survey 7 and 8, the “number of CFA positives/number of CFA positives examined for mf/number of mf positives detected” were 101/89/15 and 77/65/9 for Kirare, 74/68/17 and 52/52/7 for Kiomoni and 110/91/28 and 84/63/18 for Kisimatui, respectively.
§ Expected number of mf positives among those examined for CFA. Calculated as [number positive for CFA] × [number positive for mf] / [number CFA positives examined for mf].
¤ Expected mf GMI among those examined for CFA. See Methods for calculation.
