Heat map of the seven types of parasite (*) identified in the study, correlated with the types of parasite reported officially in the region by the ministries of health of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, Jordan as well as the Israeli Ministry of Health. Rows are mean-centered; unit variance scaling is applied to the rows. Both, rows and columns are clustered, using Pearson correlation distance and average linkage. Each of the 12 rows shows parasite intensity (number). Each column shows the year the parasite was reported during the period 2000 to 2016. Regions coloured red or blue indicate that the number of parasites increased or decreased, respectively
