FIG 2 Difference in K-functions between screened and unscreened households, and difference in cross K-functions between screened households and the health facility, and unscreened households and the health facility within the 5 Iquitos communities. Ninety-five percent significance boundaries were obtained through Monte Carlo random labeling. (A) America, K difference. (B) America, cross K difference. (C) Paujil, K difference. (D) Paujil, cross K difference. (E) Progreso, K difference. (F) Progreso, cross K difference. (G) Santo Tomas, K difference. (H) Varillal, K difference. (I) Varillal, cross K difference. Results for Santo Tomas, cross K difference not presented, as the interviewed Santo Tomas households were too far removed from the health facility to allow for meaningful analyses.
