Predicted seroprevalence of Hepatitis E virus across Nepal, 2021.
Predicted percentage of people with antibodies to HEV from the best fitting geostatistical model (the null model with spatial random effects only). Sampled locations are indicated by pink crosses and Kathmandu is marked with a red triangle. The map was produced in R version 4.2.1 (https://www.R-project.org/). The three ecological regions, Mountain, Hill and Terai, were defined based on the classification of the districts in the Food and Agriculture Organization’s Cross sections of Nepal’s physiographic regions [16]. The boundaries of the three ecological regions were made using the open-source country and district level shapefiles and spatial data made available under a Creative Commons Attribution for Intergovernmental Organisations license from the Humanitarian Data Exchange [17].
