  1. The mean (and 5th and 95th percentile) mf breakpoint values by country are given under annual biting rate (ABR) and threshold biting rate (TBR) conditions. Calculations using TBR apply for interventions including supplemental VC, while those using ABR apply for interventions without VC. The relevant vector model was used for each country as indicated in Table 1. For Kenya, Malawi, and Tanzania, the results from the culicine LF model are given, as Culex mosquitoes represent the dominant vector in these countries. For elimination analyses, the 5th percentile value represents the breakpoint value, the crossing of which corresponds to a 95% probability for achieving LF elimination
