- The highest prevalence in each category is in bold italics for emphasis
- Statistical outputs were derived from minimum sufficient models, after first fitting for each species in turn, all variables into a single full factorial model, and then stepwise backward deletion of non-significant terms. The χ
2 values for goodness of fit of the minimum sufficient models for hookworms, T. trichiura, A. lumbricoides, H. nana and all helminths combined was as follows: 792.2 (df = 1854, P = 1), 717.9 (df =1813, P = 1), 720.4 (df = 1814, P = 1), 759.6 (df = 1814, P = 1) and 978.7 (df = 1846, P = 1), respectively. The importance of each factor in the final minimum sufficient model for each taxon is given in the text
