Excess mortality in sub-Saharan Africa in the scenario of artemisinin resistance across varying levels of artemisinin-combination therapy coverage and efficacy rates for artemisinin-combination therapy in the resistance scenario. Lower coverage of ACT would imply a lesser impact in the scenario of artemisinin resistance (and conversely lower potential benefit in the scenario of effective artemisinins). Varying the degree of ACT efficacy in the scenario of artemisinin resistance would have a large impact on results.
