Ascaris prevalence distributions 1. Predicted distribution of Ascaris prevalences after three annual rounds of treatment and 2 years after the end of MDA for villages in which elimination occurred and villages in which bounce back resulted. The insert text box gives the PPV and NPV for a prevalence of 30%. These simulations were conducted for 300 villages each with a population of 500 people with MDA coverage of 0% infants - 90% pre-SAC - 90% SAC - 80% adults. Parameter values as defined in Table 3. The predicted percentage elimination in the replicates is 88%
