Description of the study population
| Côte d’Ivoire (n = 186) | Laos (n = 173) | Tanzania (n = 188) | Uganda (n = 135) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age in Years | ||||
| 6–12 | 112 (60.2%) | 78 (45.1%) | 120 (63.8%) | 135 (100%) |

| Infection intensitya | ||||
| Light | 144 (77.4%) | 149 (86.1%) | 144 (76.6%) | 118 (87.4%) |
| Moderate | 39 (21.0%) | 23 (13.3%) | 41 (21.8%) | 17 (12.6%) |
| Heavy | 3 (1.6%) | 1(0.6%) | 3 (1.6%) | 0 |
aInfection intensity was classified according to mean egg per gram (EPG) into light (1–999 EPG), moderate (1000–9999 EPG), and heavy ( ≥ 10 000 EPG). Five samples that only had country data (2 from Côte d’Ivoire, 2 from Tanzania, and 1 from Laos), but were missing additional metadata, were also added to the sequencing workflow and analysis, but were excluded from this table.
