*Estimates are calculated by using equations in Table 3 (estimated sensitivity of inspectors p = 57% [range 46%–66%] and probability of clearing households of infestation through 1 treatment c = 98.7% [range 98.4%–98.9%]). ND, no data. †Extrapolation of the prevalence in households participating only in the second treatment to households that were never treated.
