Fig. 2

Normalized trajectories for host infectiousness \({\bar{X}}\) with an applied, model MDA, IRS, or both, at (nondimensional) time \(\tau =10\). The application period of the interventions is again highlighted in the panels. The left panel is for the Ross/Macdonald theory variant and the right for openmalaria with indicated transmission intensities. For MDA + IRS campaigns jointly administered, gains from the MDA quickly clearing the host reservoir are sustained by the offered protection of the IRS. The insets show the intervention impacts I as defined in the text, Eq. 3, indicating the superior suppression of infections for synchronous MDA + IRS
