Determining Treatment Needs at Different Spatial Scales Using Geostatistical Model-Based Risk Estimates of Schistosomiasis (original) (raw)
Figure 2
Schistosomiasis endemicity estimates at different administrative levels and pixel-level prevalence in Ghana.
Provincial (A), district (B), and pixel-level (C) endemicity and pixel-level prevalence (D). The country-specific prevalence in Ghana is 54.6% based on previously published geostatistical model-based estimates [2], [3]. Low (schistosomiasis prevalence in school-aged children <10%), moderate (10–50%), and high (>50%) endemicity levels are based on WHO guidelines [4], [5].
