Table 1. Prevalence rates with 95% confidence intervals for anti-filarial antibodies based on the Brugia Rapid test in children aged between 3 and 10 years of age prior to MDA (2001) and after one or more rounds of MDA.

Year N examined % Brugia Rapid Positive 95% CI
2001 120 82.0 75.1–88.8
2003 243 39.1 32.9–45.2
2004 202 41.1 34.3–47.9
2005 164 22.6 16.2–29.0
2006 138 13.0 7.4–18.6
2007 119 6.7 2.2–11.2
2008 115 13.9 7.4–20.2
2009 103 3.9 0.2–7.6
2010 116 4.9 0.6–8.0

The last round of MDA was performed in 2007. Since only selective treatment of MF carriers was performed in 2001, no Brugia Rapid tests were performed on the samples collected in 2002.
