The asymptomatic adult male and female food handlers from the sampled markets and butcheries were randomly selected by lottery method from a list of attendance at Kisii District Hospital for routine examination of stool parasitological profile according to the Kenyan Ministry of Health Regulations Public Healthh act Chapter 242) [ 18].
The questionnaire explored: reasons for attending; dental registration status and attendance; method of access; knowledge and use of NHS Direct; satisfaction with the service; future preferences for access and use of out-of-hours dental services.
We also used principles of the double-count method to estimate the probability of attendance during the winter by using pairs of VHF-collared wolves.
For several wolf packs in Yellowstone National Park, we used pairs of collared wolves living in the same pack and the double-count method to estimate the probability of attendance (PA) for an individual wolf at a carcass.
