From: Community screening and treatment of asymptomatic carriers of Plasmodium falciparum with artemether-lumefantrine to reduce malaria disease burden: a modelling and simulation analysis

Figure 6

Impact of the study treatment on parasite prevalence within a population, with moderate transmission intensity (M = 1.25, EIR < 100) and CSC scheduled at months 1, 2 and 3 or months 1, 3 and 6 of the dry season. The panel shows the percentage of children < 5 years of age who are parasite free in the high-biting group. By repeatedly screening the population and treating the asymptomatic carriers at short time intervals, the rate of parasite prevalence can be reduced for two consecutive years as determined by the area under the curve for each year.
