Table 4.

Percent difference in cumulative incidence predicted by the transmission model for adults, children, and the whole community for increasing heterogeneity of travel by age group. Increasing heterogeneity was done using a proportionality constant where traveladult = ctravelchild and c takes values of 1 (low), 2 (medium), or 3 (high). Low-within village transmission corresponds to a baseline R0 of 0.79 and high within village transmission corresponds to a baseline R0 of 1.43 (R0 increases slightly with increasing heterogeneity)
