From: Deworming women of reproductive age during adolescence and pregnancy: what is the impact on morbidity from soil-transmitted helminths infection?

Fig. 2

Percentage of girls/women with moderate- and high-intensity infections (MHI) with aging, with moderate baseline prevalence (20–50%) and semi-annual SB treatment. The FoI inputted into the cohort model was extracted from the ICL and EMC fully stochastic individual-based models with ongoing SB treatment, i.e. FoI decreased over time. Differences between the prevalence of MHI infections between the two models are due to different assumptions on the density-dependent egg production functions and age-dependent exposure to infection. a Results with the ICL model, b results with the EMC model. Solid lines are the mean, shaded areas are the 95% credible interval. Green indicates no treatment (untreated), blue indicates treatment of pSAC and SAC only (old guidelines), red indicates treatment of pSAC and SAC plus annual treatment of adolescent girls (15–19 years) plus treatment of women during pregnancy and lactation (new suggested guidelines)
