Global distribution of the endemic countries where Ag-ELISA and/or EITB based epidemiological studies were held.
<p>Light yellow represents the countries confirmed as endemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) until 2012 [<a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0003919#pntd.0003919.ref066" target="_blank">66</a>]. Circles represent the countries where Ag-ELISA based studies took place. Each color represents the average prevalence per country found from the selected articles in this review classified in 0 to 5 percent; 5 to 10 percent and more than 10 percent. Triangles represent the countries where EITB based studies took place. Each color represents the average prevalence per country found from the selected articles in this review classified in 0 to 5 percent; 5 to 10 percent and more than 10 percent.</p
