Transmission seasonality Coefficient of variation in EIR over a year |
Low seasonal: 0.121 Moderately seasonal: 1.31 Highly seasonal: 2.66 |
| Pre-intervention annual EIR (infectious bites per person per year) during simulation’s warm-up phase before IRS intervention starts | 1, 3, 10, 30, 100 and 300 |
| ITN coverage: people sleeping under ITN the previous night |
Initial: 0, 30, 60 % Target: 0, 30, 60, 80 % |
| IRS coverage: people protected |
Initial: 0, 80 % Target: 0, 80 % |
| Case management: uncomplicated cases treated effectively |
Initial: 0, 30, 60 % Target: 0, 30, 60, 80 % |
| Seasonal malaria chemoprophylaxis: children 3–59 months old receiving three courses within a malaria season |
Initial: 0 % Target: 0, 30, 60, 80 % |
