KEY: For STH, 0.1–19.9% = Low Prevalence, 20.0–49.9% = Medium Prevalence, ≥ 50% = High Prevalence, For SCH, 0.1–9.9% = Low Prevalence, 10.0–19.9% = Medium Prevalence, 20.0–49.9% = High Prevalence, ≥ 50% = Very High Prevalence, * Case = Treatment on a case-by-case basis, *MDA = mass drug administration, *Rx = Treatment
