Methods and Findings: Observed prevalence data for hookworm, Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura were assembled for 106,370 individuals from 945 cross-sectional surveys undertaken between 1974 and 2009. Ecological and climaticcovariateswereextractedfromhigh-resolutionsatellitedataandmatchedtosurveylocations.Bayesianspace-time geostatistical models were developed for each species, and were used to interpolate the probability that infection prevalenceexceededthe20%thresholdacrossthecountryforboth1989and2009.Mapsforeachspecieswereintegrated toestimatecombinedSTHprevalenceusingthelawoftotalprobabilityandincorporatingacorrectionfactortoadjustfor associations between species.
