Parameter sensitivity. Some simulation experiments showing the sensitivity of the two distributions of elimination and bounce back 2 years after cessation of three annual rounds of chemotherapy to control Ascaris (MDA coverage as 0% infants - 90% pre-SAC - 90% SAC - 80% adults) with different parameters sets. Note several parameters vary simultaneously since the sets are taken from the Monte Carlo Markov Chain fitting of the model to age intensity data. Three different set of parameters chosen from one chain of an MCMC run are recorded. A stochastic model is used to convert epg counts for Ascaris to worm counts with density dependence in egg production built in
