Interpreting malaria age-prevalence and incidence curves: a simulation study of the effects of different types of heterogeneity

Table 1 Reference scenario characteristics.

Input	Value
Transmission intensity	21 infected bites per year per adult ^†
Seasonality	Perennial with seasonal peaks (Namawala, Tanzania [39])^†
Treatment-seeking	0.2 per fever-5 day interval ^‡
Treatment drug	ACT (clears all infections)^†
Demographic age-distribution	Ifakara, Tanzania [53]^†

^† These values were used in previous simulations [35–37]
^‡ This value is higher than previous simulations to allow the effect of treatment heterogeneity to show clearly
