Global Lymphatic Filariasis Prevalence Geospatial Estimates 2000-2018

Estimates were produced for lymphatic filariasis (LF) all-age prevalence at the 5x5 km-level in endemic countries across Africa, Asia, and Hispaniola, annually between 2000 and 2018. Bayesian time series estimates were produced for 17 small area geographies in South America, the Indian Ocean, and Oceania. These estimates were produced using data on LF and geographical locations from endemicity mapping surveys, sentinel surveillance surveys, transmission assessment surveys (TAS), and other sources.

This dataset includes the following:

GeoTIFF raster files for pixel-level estimates of LF prevalence rate, counts, and posterior probability that prevalence was lower than 2% in 2018
CSV files of aggregated estimates of LF prevalence rate, count and posterior probability of prevalence below 2% (2018) for each country at the zero, first, and second administrative divisions
Code files used to generate the estimates
