aThe total helminth infections was calculated by adding the number of school-aged children requiring treatment for soil-transmitted helminth infections and schistosomiasis, together with the total population requiring treatment for lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. All of these numbers were based on the 2013 WHO PCT database, together with newly released information on onchocerciasis from WHO.
