  1. Guiding Control: Spatial Epidemiology of NTDs Simon Brooker London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine Launch of the London Centre for Neglected Tropical Disease Research London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine 30th January 2013

  2. Global Atlas of Helminth Infections: Ascarislumbricoides in Latin America & sub-Saharan Africa

  3. Mapping lymphatic filariasis (LF)

  4. Mapping trachoma: prevalence of trachomatous inflammation–follicular, 1985-2012

  5. Defining the transmission limits of STH species: temperature and aridity exclusions • Areas at stable risk of transmission for at least one STH species (dark green), unstable transmission of at least one species (light green) or at no risk of transmission for any STH species (dark grey) • Pink hatching indicates countries excluded on the basis of socioeconomic status; also shown are irrigated areas (blue), urban extents (dark pink) and surrounding peri-urban extents (light pink).

  6. Estimating the global burden of STH in 2010 3.99 billion people are at risk of any level of hookworm transmission, whilst 4.00 billion are at risk of any level of A. lumbricoides and T. trichiuratransmission 1.71 billion people (95% BCI: 1.36 – 2.11 billion) infected with at least one species of STH DALYs: Ascariasis 1.3 million DALYs (95% CIs: 0.7-2.3) Trichuriasis 0.9 million DALYs (95% CIs: 0.3-1.1) Hookworm 3.2 million DALYs (95% CIs: 1.7-5.7)

  7. Country estimates: Ascarislumbricoides

  8. Spatial modelling of the prevalence of STH infection, 2010Bayesian geostatistical modelling A. lumbricoides T. trichiura

  9. Spatial modelling of STH in Kenya: a control planning tool

  10. Understanding the context: LF treatment coverage

  11. Understanding the context: mapping water and sanitation

  12. Spatial modelling of water & sanitation status Use of geostatistical small-area estimation

  13. Evaluating mapping approaches for trachoma: Comparison of integrated threshold mapping and cluster random sampling

  14. Developing a NTD mapping tool: End user survey of functions and applications Survey of control programme managers and NTD staff

  15. Reports

  16. Training materials
