Fig. 7.

The impact of different treatments for the hookworm elimination programme. a The results with a LF coverage of 0.4, 0.4 and 0.3 for pre-SAC, SAC and adults respectively. b The results with a LF coverage of 0.7, 0.7 and 0.6 for pre-SAC, SAC and adults respectively. The shaded area corresponds with the expected R₀ based on the LF rounds at two different prevalence regions: low (blue, 5–15%) and high (red, 20–30%). The dotted vertical lines indicate the predicted (deterministic) R₀ values at which elimination occurs. The curved lines represent the prevalence of hookworm at baseline. The solid lines represent the true prevalence and the dashed lines the measured prevalence
