|  | Scenario quantification derived from statistical modela | Pre-control prevalence of infection in school-age children (age 10–15) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Endemicity scenario | Mean egg count (epg) | Aggregation parameter (k) | Light infection (%) | Medium infection (%) | Heavy infection (%) | Any infection (%) |
High | 1000 | 0.264 | 73.2 | 8.8 | 6.7 | 88.6 |
Medium | 300 | 0.104 | 52.1 | 2.8 | 1.4 | 56.3 |
Low | 100 | 0.044 | 27.6 | 0.9 | 0.3 | 28.8 |
