Mohammed, Jürg Utzinger, David Rollinson, Govert J. van DamThe two maps indicate different S. haematobium prevalence levels as identified with a single urine filtration method (A) and a urine-based up-converting phosphor-lateral flow circulating anodic antigen (UCAA2000) assay (B) in 16 schools on Pemba island, United Republic of Tanzania, in 2013. UCAA2000: up-converting phosphor-lateral flow assay detecting circulating anodic antigen in urine and prepared with 1.5 ml of urine; green spot: school with a prevalence of <2%; yellow spot: school with a prevalence of 2–5%; orange spot: school with a prevalence of 5-<10%; red spot: school with a prevalence of ≥10%.
