+Infection intensity was measured using the Kato-Katz method, examining three slides for each participant. Participant 5 tested positive by hatch tests but had no detectable eggs. Infection intensity measurements are missing for four participants.
¶In red are the two miracidia with low frequency of mapped reads that were subsequently excluded from downstream analyses.
