Model 1 was defined to include age, gender (male), years lived in an endemic area, distance to the nearest river, occupation (farmer), individual intake of MDA (ivermectin), total nodule counts and total nodule sites. ENR; eosinophil-to-neutrophil ratio, EMR; eosinophil-to-monocyte ratio, EBR; eosinophil-to-basophil ratio, ELR; eosinophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; combined ratios included ENR, EMR, EBR and ELR
