Comparison of main strategies for elimination of LF in different settings with a more homogeneous distribution of risk. These are mass drug administration at 65 % coverage, mass drug administration at a higher 80 % coverage, bi-annual MDA at 65 % coverage and annual MDA at 80 % coverage. The three endemic settings considered are mf prevalence 15 % (high), 10 % (medium) & 5 % (low). The left column is in a setting where Anopheles dominates transmission and the right column is where Culex dominates transmission. a & b are the ICT prevalence for medium endemicity over 20 years averaged over the simulation runs (c) & (d) are mf prevalence after 5 years; (e) & (f) are ICT prevalence after 5 years and (g) & (h) are the probability of elimination are 5 years
