Maps showing location of reported NTDs in the included articles: bacterial NTDs (A) and viral NTDs (B). The number inside each region represents number of pathogens reported in the articles and the colour represents percentage of total articles of corresponding aetiology. Maps were created using ArcGIS version 10.4.1 and the base layer of the map was produced using Geotag (https://geotag.sourceforge.net/).

Maps showing location of reported NTDs in the included articles: protozoal NTDs (A) and helminthiasis (B). The number inside each region represents number of pathogens reported in the articles and the colour represents percentage of total articles of corresponding aetiology. Maps were created using ArcGIS version 10.4.1 and the base layer of the map was produced using Geotag (https://geotag.sourceforge.net/).
