Summary. Applies a Bayesian coregionalization model to characterise the spatial co-distribution of malaria and soil-transmitted helminth infections across Nigeria, identifying regions of elevated co-endemicity — particularly in the South-South and South-East — and quantifying the correlation between the two disease burdens.
