Table 2 Model-estimated mf and L3 breakpoint values for achieving the successful interruption of LF transmission in each of the study sites investigated. Breakpoints are listed in terms of mf and L3 prevalences (%) at 95 % probability of elimination for two situations: 1) at the prevailing vector biting rates (ie., at the observed ABRs) and 2) at the threshold biting rate (TBR) at or below which LF transmission process cannot sustain itself regardless of the level of the infection in human hosts (see text). The first set of the threshold values (at study-specific ABR) is used in modeling the impact of mass drug administration (MDA) alone, while the 2nd set (ie., mf breakpoint values estimated at TBR) is applied for modeling the impact when MDA is supplemented by vector control (VC)
