Predicted impact of mass drug administration on the development of protective immunity against Schistosoma haematobium. by Kate M Mitchell, Francisca Mutapi, Takafira Mduluza, Nicholas Midzi, Nicholas J Savill, Mark E J Woolhouse

“…This implies that disease burden may temporarily increase following discontinuation of treatment, even in the absence of any reduction in the overall transmission rate. If MDA was additionally assumed to reduce transmission, a larger overshoot was seen across a wide range of parameter combinations, including those with longer-lived protective immunity. …”
