Prevalence of positive laboratory results for <i>Taenia solium</i> infection in humans by geographic relation to a household containing at least one tongue-positive pig, Rica Playa, Tumbes, Peru.

Abstract

<p>CI = Confidence interval.</p><p>PR = Prevalence ratio.</p>*<p>Generalized estimating equations (GEE) with household as the clustering variable and using robust sandwich-type standard errors. Best-fitting models for residents living within 100 meters of a tongue-positive pig included the following variables; 1) EITB LLGP; age and number of pigs raised within the house, 2) EITB r33; number of pigs raised within the house only, 3) ELISA coproantigen; age only.</p
