The relationship between the critical infant vaccine coverage required to break transmission for different R 0 values, and the efficacy of a vaccine with an impact on reducing the per capita fecundity of adult worms. The duration of vaccine protection is lifelong (ω = 0). The other vaccine impact parameters are set as v 1 = 0 , v 3 = 0, i.e. no effect on parasite survival and establishment. The parasite population parameters are defined in Table 1
