Comparison of the observed <i>S. mansoni</i> prevalence and intensity with the predicted changes in Macina.

<p>Prevalence is shown in red and intensity of infection is shown in blue. <i>S. mansoni</i> infection is shown in 7–14 year group (A) and in entire population (B). Lines show the predicted changes and squares in A show the observed results. Error bars represent the 95% CI.</p

Prevalence and mean intensity of infection (95% CI) in the 7-years old.

Percentage proportion of light, moderate or heavy infections in 2004 and 2010.

<p>Upper panel: <i>S. haematobium</i> infection in Macina (A), San (B) and Segou (C), categorized as light (<50 eggs/10 ml of urine) and heavy (≥50 eggs/10 ml of urine) infections. Lower panel: <i>S. mansoni</i> infection in Macina (D), San (E) and Segou (F), categorized as light (1–99 epg), moderate (100–399 epg) and heavy (≥400 epg) infections. N.A.: not applicable. Error bars represent the 95% CI.</p

Endemic situation shown as number of major target NTDs in each district in Mali.

<p>LF: lymphatic filariasis; ONCH: onchocerciasis; SCH: schistosomiasis; STH: soil-transmitted helminthiasis; TRA: trachoma. In Kidal region, the endemicity level of schistosomiasis in each district is not yet clear and further mapping is planned.</p
