Because of the poor performance of the Kato-Katz test alone in all livestock species, prevalence estimates are based on animals with MHT and Kato-Katz tests carried out in parallel. MHT=miracidia hatching test. BCI=Bayesian credible interval.

*

Random subset of animals with MHT and Kato-Katz tests performed in parallel.

Based on Kato-Katz and MHT results from random subset of animals with both tests carried out in parallel.

Number of positive animals with miracidia analysed.
