Table 2 LYMFASIM predictions of the number of annual mass drug treatment rounds required to achieve elimination in an area like Pondicherry, with 99% probability. Results are shown for four different drugs or drug combinations and two coverage levels. Predictions are based on the anti-L3 variant of the model for Pondicherry, with a precontrol microfilaraemia prevalence of 8.5%. Elimination is defined as zero microfilaraemia prevalence 40 years after the start of treatment. Source: [31]
