Predicted impact of optimal and sub-optimal IRS on VL incidence for three endemic settings. IRS is assumed to start in the year zero. Lines within plots represent different pre-IRS endemic settings (high: 20/10,000, medium: 10/10,000, low: 5/10,000); the dotted line represents the target VL incidence of <1 per 10,000 capita. Model predictions were made with the sub-variant of each of the three models that best fit age-patterns in human infection markers. See Additional file 3 for the short and long-term impact of optimal and sub-optimal IRS in low, medium, and highly endemic settings with all model sub-variants
