Figure 4

Scatter plot of prevalence as determined by Kato-Katz against that determined by CCA test. 'Trace' result as negative is compared to 'trace' result as positive. The graph area is shaded based on the WHO thresholds for different treatment recommendations. 'A' denotes a site where Kato-Katz and CCA (when 'trace' results are called negative) both show prevalence under 50%, but which rises to over 50% if 'trace' CCA calls are considered positive. 'B' denotes a site where Kato-Katz and CCA results agree on a prevalence but only when CCA 'trace' results are considered positive; if considered negative, CCA result drops below 50%.
