Timelines to the elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) from sub-Saharan Africa under various intervention strategies. Distributions of calendar years when LF elimination is predicted to be achievable in sub-Saharan Africa under the 12 considered intervention scenarios (see Table 2). These values were calculated by pooling together model-predicted country-specific LF elimination years. The country-specific LF elimination years were calculated as the year by which community-level mf prevalences in all selected spatially representative sites from a given country are predicted to be reduced below their respective 95% elimination probability thresholds (see Table 3). The horizontal line indicates the year 2020 — the target year set for global LF elimination. The error bars show the 2.5th and 97.5th percentile values
