Fig. 4

The impact of annual school-based treatment on the mean worm burden in different age groups. The solid bars represent the pre-control burden and the hashed bars, the burden after 5 years of treatment. The scenarios for the relative pre-control burden in adults are shown in Fig. 2 (note they have the same age-weighted overall mean worm burden). The results assume a treatment coverage of 75% and 5% systematic non-compliance. The results pertaining to the lower transmission setting are shown in Additional file 1: Figure S1. Abbreviation: Pre-SAC: 2–4 year-olds, SAC: 5–14 year-olds and adults: ≥ 15 year-olds
