"elimination threshold" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It refers to a predetermined point at which something or someone will be eliminated or removed from a situation or process. Example: "The elimination threshold for this competition is set at 50 points. Any team that falls below this threshold will be eliminated from the tournament."
Despite the success of MDT, endemic pools still exist in some countries that attained the national elimination threshold [ 3- 5].
This paper shows that specific ecological conditions in a community can lead to significant local differences in population dynamics and, consequently, elimination threshold estimates for lymphatic filariasis.
The methods are summarised in table 2. > -wrap-foot> Excluding a few very small countries and territories, no country has yet reached the TB elimination threshold.
In 2005 and 2006, however, at least 40%and55%5%, respectively, of the member states had a measles incidence that was above the elimination threshold (Appendix Table).
If effective coverage is already substantial in these age groups, a modest increase in effective coverage in the total population induced by vaccinating children might result in a situation where the elimination threshold is exceeded and RR falls to zero.
At the end of November 2011, prevalence was higher than the leprosy elimination threshold in Nkhotakota and Salima at 3.54 and 1.2 leprosy cases per 10,000 population respectively.

In particular, when the dynamics occurs near elimination thresholds, seasonality may be instrumental.
The present estimates of parasite elimination thresholds, particularly in the case of the worm breakpoint prevalence value, are the first such model-based measures obtained for anopheline filariasis [5], [7].
Stability analyses of the present filarial transmission models support recent work that has shown that elimination thresholds in filarial infections depend strongly upon the nature and magnitude of density dependent processes that govern infection dynamics in the vector and host populations [5], [10].
This represents a hard loss of the respective stable states [20] [22]; however, while this phenomenon can clearly enhance parasite eradicability as a result of control, note that it can also lead to a sudden emergence of stable infection following control if the parasite can be re-introduced sufficiently to allow exceedance of these elimination thresholds.
