The comparison of transmission intensity on treatment success with CSC spaced one month apart for three months. At some level of transmission intensity (i.e. M = 5, EIR > 200), the parasite burden is too great so that eradication is not sustained within the population, indicated by the area under the curve of the malaria incidence. When the transmission intensity is low (i.e. M = 0.5, EIR < 10), the parasite burden is low and eradication is sustained within the population for at least 2 years after the intervention. This highlights the need for this strategy to be coupled with other interventions, when used in areas of moderate transmission intensity (i.e. M = 1.25, EIR < 100).
