Figure 1. — Modelling projections showing the impact of missing a round of MDA for schistosomiasis (Schistosoma mansoni; mean worm lifespan, 5.6 years) and (Anopheles-transmitted) lymphatic filariasis (Wuchereria bancrofti; mean worm lifespan, 8 years). Schistosomiasis starting at 75% baseline prevalence in school-aged children (5–14 years old) and treating 75% of school-aged children with praziquantel. Lymphatic filariasis starting at 15% baseline prevalence in the entire population and treating 65% communitywide with ivermectin and albendazole (assuming 30% long-lasting insecticidal nets coverage). Abbreviation: MDA, mass drug administration.
