Total (95% Bayesian credible interval) 39·4% (34·3–43·6) 51·2% (46·9–56·4) 19·5% (9·2–27·3) 60·5% (55·7–64·6) 67·9% (64·6–71·1) 53·6% (45·2–58·3)

Relative prevalence reduction was calculated as the prevalence in 2000–10 minus the prevalence in 2011–14 or 2015–19 divided by the prevalence in 2000–10. For example, the 39·2% relative prevalence reduction of schistosomiasis in Angola during the 2011–14 period suggests that in Angola the schistosomiasis prevalence during 2011–14 decreased by 39·2% compared with the baseline prevalence during 2000–10.

Madagascar only had data available for 2015–19, therefore reduction prevalences could not be calculated.
