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

Fig. 4

Relative reduction in the prevalence of moderate- and high-intensity infections (M&HI) in WRA (15–50 years) with the new treatment strategy (treating school-aged children plus treating adolescent girls annually, treating women twice during pregnancy and once during lactation) compared to the prevalence of M&HI infections in WRA with the old treatment strategy (treating only school-aged children, no treatment of WRA). 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. Results were obtained from 100 iterations of a cohort model of 500 women run for each scenario. Treatment frequency depended on the transmission setting, according to World Health Organization guidelines. Error bars represent 95% credible intervals
