Filariasistype


Filariasis is a common infection in tropical and subtropical countries. Several parasites can cause filariasis. In Nigeria a study was conducted to see prevalence of filariasis due to various parasite types. Specific questions of interest are:
a) is the proportion of infected cases (in total number examined- column B) due to  Onchocerca volvulus constant across communities? 
b) is the proportion of infected cases due to  Onchocerca volvulus ( out of total infected cases- column C) constant across communities?
