Table 1 Simulation results, using ONCHOSIM. Cells are based on 100 simulations each. Each cell shows number of eliminations obtained with a macrofilaricide/number of eliminations obtained with ivermectin.
From: Macrofilaricides and onchocerciasis control, mathematical modelling of the prospects for elimination
