RoodA key component of this figure was demonstrating how the model provided comprehensive prevalence estimates of wards within the lake zone. This was not the exact figure shown in interviews, however, as a base layers from the previous map could not be published in this journal due to copyright issues. This figure was created in QGIS 3.30.1 using open-source spatial data from GADM.org, and is presented on open-source base layers from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). This figure was previously published by Mathewson et al. in a 2024 PLOS NTD manuscript [7].
