NOTE: This outlines the version of the model used to generate outputs for the below paper. The most up-to-date version of the model can be found at github.com, and the most up-to-date published version of the model can be found at: doi.org. Title: Modelling anti-Ov16 seroprevalence for the control and elimination of onchocerciasis Authors: Aditya Ramani, Jacob N. Stapley, Matthew A. Dixon, Jonathan I. D. Hamley, Luís-Jorge Amaral, Maria-Gloria Basáñez*†, Martin Walker*† * Corresponding authors † Joint supervisory authors Journal: Nature Communications Year: 2026File Descriptions:- mrc-ide:EPIONCHO.IBM-v1.0.1-ov16.zip contains the zipped version of the github repository with all the model code. - data_for_plots_only.zip contains the source data files needed to create Figures 1, 4, 5, and 7.   - Data come from Atsame et al. 2024 (Gabon) or Komlan et al. 2018 (Togo), with the post-processed data found in the following files: "figure_1_observed_atsame_data.csv", "figure_4_observed_atasame_data.csv", and "figure_7_observed_data_komlan.csv".  - Modelled data come from this study, with post-processed data found in the following files: "figure_1_processed_model_data.csv", "figure_4_processed_model_data.csv", and "figure_7_processed_model_data.csv".  - Figure 5 contains a single data file "figure_5_data.csv", that contains both the post-processed model and observed data. - data.zip contains all the model data from the study, which can be used to re-create the analysis from the beginning. See the readme file of the github for more instructions.References: Atsame, J. et al.
