The probable impact of an intervention with varying efficacy on the dynamics of RV transmission. A It is shown that the total number of nodes is inversely associated with the efficacy of an intervention. It is hypothesized that an intervention requires a minimum efficacy of 56.1% to remove 50% of the nodes (NP₅₀) within RV transmission clusters. B Similar inversed association was observed between the total number of edges and the efficacy of an intervention, in which a minimum efficacy of 34.1% is required to remove 50% of the edges (EP₅₀) within RV transmission clusters. For each setting (intervention efficacy), 10,000 trials were simulated. The procedure was implemented in Python (release 3.2.6) using custom script
