Predictive vs. Empiric Assessment of Schistosomiasis: Implications for Treatment Projections in Ghana

BACKGROUND: Mapping the distribution of schistosomiasis is essential to determine where control programs should operate, but because it is impractical to assess infection prevalence in every potentially endemic community, model-based geostatistics (MBG) is increasingly being used to predict prevalen...
