Figure 5

Relative risk of new foci of transmission developing, using the moderate warming climate projection. Results are for 2026–2035 relative to 2006–2015 (top) and 2056–2065 relative to 2006–2015 (bottom). Blue colours indicate little or no risk. Red colours indicate high risk. The maps on the left show risk in villages with high levels of risk behaviour and good snail habitats. The maps on the right show risk in villages with lower levels of risk behaviour and/or poor snail habitats. The key indicates the proportion of cut-offs that were crossed between baseline and 20 and 50 years’ time. Results for the low and high warming scenarios are shown in the Additional file 2: Figures S2 and Additional file 3: Figure S3.
