Experiments for developing a flytrap for collecting <i>C. putoria</i>.

a<p>Standard trap design consisted of 10 entrance holes, each 1.6 cm in diameter, in a white lid of a 3 L polypropylene box, with transparent sides. 50 g of raw fish was placed in a 9 cm diameter white pot, covered with cotton netting.</p

Crude Parasitological Failure after Treatment with CQ/SP or Co-Artemether

<p>Point-prevalence of trophozoite-positive thick films in both treatment groups at 7, 14, and 28 d post-treatment (limit of detection: five trophozoites per μl of peripheral blood). Error bars represent 95% CI calculated from the binomial distribution. Denominators for CQ/SP and co-artemether (CoArt) groups are, respectively, 74 and 336 (day 7), 79 and 356 (day 14), and 72 and 355 (day 28).</p
