Clinical incidence of malaria predicted by either halting or extending the age range of the annual SMC campaign. Model predictions for the average number of clinical cases per year per 1000 people if SMC was halted (red bar), continued implementation across the existing target age (0–5 years, blue bar) or extended to 0–10 years old (green bar) or 0–15 years (purple bar). Incidence is averaged over the whole population (all ages) over a three-year period following the change in policy to reflect the regularity of mass ITN campaigns. ITNs are assumed to be either pyrethroid-only ITNs (left bars) or pyrethroid- piperonyl butoxide (PBO) ITNs (right bars).
