Figure 2

Relationship between CCA test score and Kato-Katz faecal examination. Figure 2a (inset): Box plot showing the relationship between CCA score and eggs per gram of faeces, for all the individuals surveyed. Representative photographs of these different test strengths can be seen in the photo montage in the top left of the Figure. Figure 2b: Stacked bar chart showing the corresponding diagnosis of the CCA tests for the children surveyed as having a particular EPG value. The CCA test only missed one positive Kato-Katz read, but 'trace' CCA results were also attributed to individuals with moderate and heavy infection intensity.
