Baseline data of the study population and distribution of fever, Plasmodium spp, geohelminth spp, co-infections, and anaemia by locality, sex, and age group.

Proportions are expressed as number of cases with percentages in brackets, arithmetic values are expressed as mean value ± Standard Deviation (SD), and geometric values are expressed as mean value with minimum and maximum values in brackets. NK: Nkassomo, VI: Vian, M: male, F: female, N°: number of participants, MAT: arithmetic mean axial temperature in degree Celsius, F: Fever cases, P.f: Plasmodium falciparum, A.l: Ascaris lumbricoides, T.t: Trichuris trichiura, A.l-T.t: polyparasitism of Ascaris and Trichuris, A.l-P.f: single Co-infection of Ascaris and Plasmodium, T.t-P.f: single co-infection of Trichuris and Plasmodium, A.l-T.t-P.f: mixed co-infection of Ascaris, Trichuris and Plasmodium, Hbα: arithmetic mean haemoglobin levels in g/dl of blood in non infected individuals, Hbβ: arithmetic mean haemoglobin levels in g/dl of blood in infected individuals, A: Anaemia cases, MPD: geometric mean Plasmodium parasite densities in parasites per µl of blood, MAD: geometric mean Ascaris parasite densities in eggs per gram of faeces, MTD: geometric mean Trichuris parasite densities in eggs per gram of faeces. P-valuesa, pb, and pc are p-values among villages, sex and age groups, respectively.Baseline data of the study population and distribution of fever, Plasmodium spp, geohelminth spp, co-infections, and anaemia by locality, sex, and age group.
