  1. aInfection intensity was classified according to mean egg per gram (EPG) into light (1–999 EPG), moderate (1000–9999 EPG), and heavy ( ≥ 10 000 EPG). Five samples that only had country data (2 from Côte d’Ivoire, 2 from Tanzania, and 1 from Laos), but were missing additional metadata, were also added to the sequencing workflow and analysis, but were excluded from this table.
