estimates between 3.5 and 7% were found in large areas of
India and pockets of China, Myanmar,Thailand, Cambodia and Lao People's
Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). Uncertainty maps reveal that areas of
high uncertainty correspond with high transmission areas. These areas also
had sparse prevalence survey data. Relative to its size, India had very little
prevalence data available. Myanmar and Thailand also had large regions with
stable transmission but with few surveys to support the prevalence estimates.
While predictions on the Korean peninsula were made with relatively high
certainty (
