Description of the EPIONCHO model, equations, calibration, modifications to incorporate vaccination and model vaccine efficacy, and results under varying assumptions of coverage and age groups targeted.

Text A: Model Description. Text B: Model Equations. Text C: Modelling Vaccine Efficacy. Table A: Summary of baseline (pre-control) modelled epidemiological scenarios. Table B: Definition and values of parameters and variables for the onchocerciasis population dynamics model EPIONCHO. Table C: Definition and values of parameters for mating probability and microfilarial prevalence calculations. Table D: Long-term impact of vaccination on onchocerciasis annual transmission potential and microfilarial load in the absence of ivermectin treatment under different assumptions of the vaccine coverage. Table E: Long-term impact of vaccination on onchocerciasis annual transmission potential and microfilarial load in the absence of ivermectin treatment under different assumptions of the targeted age group.
