Comparison of methods for presence of faecal parasites (see Table 2 for the overall numbers).

a. APC 即琼脂平板培养（agar plate culture）；采用Kappa统计量（Kappa statistic）对比APC与木炭琼脂（charcoal agar）的检测结果：b. 钩虫（hookworm）培养的Kappa值为0.14；c. 针对每种寄生虫阳性的全部样本，类圆线虫（S. stercoralis）培养的Kappa值为0.65。本部分针对粪便寄生虫（faecal parasites）的检出情况开展方法学对比，完整样本量详见表2（Table 2）。
