This finding was determined from a single 20-\u03bcL sample of finger prick blood from each person. Among children, &lt; 2% had a detectable microfilaremia. In persons &gt; 15 years of age, the prevalence of infection for males and females was 23% and 21%, respectively. In general, the microfilaremias were low and 70% of positive persons had &lt; 10 microfilariae per 20 \u03bcL of blood; only 5% had &gt; 50 microfilariae.
