Figure 7
Parasite extinction rates following six mass drug administration (MDA) rounds. Both graphs show the outcome of six MDA rounds at 80% coverage on the 500 passing parameter sets for each study community. Graph (a) shows the relationship between the proportion of the 500 accepted models that go to extinction - that is, the microfilaria prevalence drops below the breakpoint estimated for each individual accepted model, and the annual biting rate of the corresponding study community, while the graph (b) plots the same proportions of the models that go to extinction but in relation to the mean value of R0 for each community. Black crosses correspond to anopheline models and circles are culicine.
