Figure Predictions of Epifil model of filariasis transmission3 (upper panel) and effect of sensitivity of diagnostic test for quantifying change in filarial infection prevalence over time (lower panel) Epifil model estimates of number of years of intervention required by annual diethylcarbamazine/albendazole MDA to achieve target infection threshold of just below 0·5% microfilaria prevalence.
