Figure 2. — Average time needed to reach the 1% target of microfilariae (mf) prevalence in treatment-naive settings, in relation to the mf prevalence at t = 0. Each subplot represents a particular region as specified in its caption. Within each panel, results are shown for the current strategy of annual mass drug administration (MDA) with either ivermectin + albendazole (IA) or diethylcarbamazine + albendazole in comparison to ivermectin + diethylcarbamazine + albendazole (IDA; for India, Papua New Guinea, and the African DA regions) or biannual MDA (African IA region, where IDA is not recommended because of safety concerns). For Loa loa–coendemic areas, biannual MDA with albendazole alone is the recommended strategies and no alternative is shown. Horizontal line at t = 3 indicates 2020. Abbreviations: ALB, albendazole; DEC, diethylcarbamazine; IVER, ivermectin; PNG, Papua New Guinea.
