Determining Treatment Needs at Different Spatial Scales Using Geostatistical Model-Based Risk Estimates of Schistosomiasis (original) (raw)
Figure 1
Endemicity estimates of schistosomiasis for an ensemble of 29 West and East African countries.
The endemicity levels at country-level (A) and pixel-level (B) are based on previously published geostatistical model-based prevalence estimates [2], [3] and WHO classifications [4], [5]. Low endemicity is defined as schistosomiasis prevalence in school-aged children <10%, moderate endemicity as prevalence between 10% and 50%, and high endemicity as prevalence >50%.
