Fig 3. Change in local human prevalence of Schistosoma infection during mollusciciding control projects.

Individual lines represent the shift from pre-control prevalence (left side) to prevalence after implementation of chemical mollusciciding (right side) by schistosomiasis control programs. Black lines indicate programs that used niclosamide mollusciciding alone, green lines indicate programs that combined mollusciciding with anti-schistosomal drug treatments as part of control, and the dashed blue lines indicate studies where non-niclosamide molluscicides were utilized.
