Fig. 5

The impact of annual school-based treatment and community-wide mass treatment on the prevalence of heavy infections in SAC and adults. The solid lines represent the prevalence of heavy infection in SAC and the dashed the prevalence of heavy infection in adults. The different scenarios for the relative pre-control burden in adults are indicated with different coloured lines (see Fig. 2). Heavy infection was defined as having a burden above the WHO threshold (≥400 epg) [2]. The results assume a treatment coverage of 75% and 5% systematic non-compliance. Abbreviation: SAC: 5–14 year-olds and adults: ≥ 15 year-olds
