Individual-based stochastic model of STH transmission dynamics and MDA treatment. Elimination curves are shown for different patterns in individual compliance to PCT treatment, targeted at pre-SAC and SAC at 75 % coverage. The blue line represents a random compliance setting where individual participation is randomly allocated at each treatment. The green line represents a fully systematic compliance setting where an individual either always participates (if eligible), or never participates. The orange line represents a semi-systematic (or mixed) compliance setting where some individuals are systematically more likely to participate than others (determined by a lifelong ‘compliance factor’/‘attendance factor’ as termed by Plaisier et al. [60]). Projections are taken from the model presented in [Truscott, J.E., Turner, H.C., Farrell, S.H. and Anderson, R.M. Soil Transmitted Helminths: mathematical models of transmission, the impact of mass drug administration and transmission elimination criteria. Under Review]
