Spatial modelling of soil-transmitted helminth infections in Kenya: a disease control planning tool.

Spatial modelling of soil-transmitted helminth infections in Kenya: a disease control planning tool.

<h4>Background</h4>Implementation of control of parasitic diseases requires accurate, contemporary maps that provide intervention recommendations at policy-relevant spatial scales. To guide control of soil transmitted helminths (STHs), maps are required of the combined prevalence of infe...
