Figure 3. M. africanum prevalence in Western African countries.

Figure 3

Prevalence figures were derived from the most recently published studies from Table 2 and unpublished data from Tunisia, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic extracted from the SITVIT2 proprietary database of Institut Pasteur de la Guadeloupe. If studies did not list the prevalence of MAF1 and/or MAF2, the estimates were based on interpretation of the spoligotype patterns. Areas with MAF1 are shaded in brown and areas with MAF2 are shaded in green, with striped shading if prevalence of MAF1 and MAF2 exceeds 5% each.
