Verweij, Johnny Vlaminck, Jozef VercruysseThe intensity of infections is summarized by arithmetic means of fecal egg counts (FECs; expressed as eggs per gram of stool (EPG)) and the proportion of light and moderate-to-high (M&H) intensity infections. For the classification of the infection intensity, we applied World Health Organization (WHO) infection intensity thresholds (see Table 1).
