Effective reproduction number as a function of mixing and treatment uptake with and without uptake during the primary infection.

<p>The solid lines are repeated from <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005012#pcbi.1005012.g006" target="_blank">Fig 6A</a> and correspond to the annual treatment uptake percentage, <i>τ</i>*. The dashed lines were obtained when treatment uptake during the primary infection was set to 0 for all risk groups. As expected, elimination is more difficult to achieve in this case and the impact of not treating primary infection increases with increasing treatment uptake.
