Mf, CFA, and antibody prevalence across the health districts in Samoa. Leulumoega 1 recorded a significantly higher Mf (*), CFA (*), and antibody (Ab) prevalence in children (*) than the other districts (𝜒²=46.9; 𝑑𝑓=6; 𝑃<0.001), (𝜒²=124.9; 𝑑𝑓=6; 𝑃<0.001), (𝜒²=20.6; 𝑑𝑓=6; 𝑃<0.001). Similarly, Palalui recorded a significantly high antibody (Ab) prevalence (**) in children (𝜒²=20.6; 𝑑𝑓=6; 𝑃<0.001).
