^aAdjusted for intra cluster correlation using generalised estimating equation (GEE) model.

^bRogan-Gladon estimator assuming 100% specificity and sensitivities of 77.4%, 90.9%, 95%, 95% for T.vivax, T. c. savannah, T. b. brucei and T. b. rhodesiense [32], respectively.

^cDue to the local farming systems, all animals within a certain village are considered as a herd.

^dIntra cluster correlation coefficient or rate of homogeneity (rho).
