Distribution pattern in each community of microfilarial densities one year after ivermectin treatment.

Three variables, proportion of individuals having (a) greater than pretreatment mf density, (b) same as pre-treatment mf density, and (c) less than pre-treatment mf density, were compared in the 10 communities. Kyingakrom, New Longoro and Jagbenbendo (poor responding communities) were significantly higher (§ p¶Ivermectin naïve at start of study. n/s = not significantly different from good responders. The superscript in the table e.g., (5)10, represents the number of subjects that had >20 mf/s.
