cEstimated value based on the ArcGIS Map algebra raster calculator; 2015 population raster map (the AsiaPop Project) was multiplied by the annual population growth rate for 2015 to 2020
dEstimated value based on the ArcGIS Map algebra raster calculator; 2017 population raster map was multiplied by the proportion of the Filipino population aged 5–19 years to derive a map of the number of school-aged children aged 5–19 years in 2017 in each grid cell. We then multiplied the map of the total population aged between 5–19 years by our prediction maps of the prevalence of A. lumbricoides monoinfection, T. trichiura monoinfection, and A. lumbricoides and T. trichiura co-infection, and the predicted prevalence of infection intensity classes in ArcGIS software (ESRI 2013.
