  1. *In the 2021 impact assessment, S. haematobium egg counts were only recorded in haematuria-positive samples and were not representative of the whole sample. In the 2015 survey, a sub-set of samples (five out of 15 SAC enrolled in the first of the two villages surveyed by sub-district) was selected for filtration
