(A) Box plot of OD values among responders in the seven different surveys (Mossi, empty boxes; Fulani, grey boxes). The number of Mossi (M), Fulani (F) and the average age ±95% CI were as follows: August ’94 M = 104 (16.1±3.1), F = 93 (13.8±2.6); October ’94 M = 92 (13.4±2.8), F = 43 (17.7±5.2); March ’95 M = 46 (18.7±4.9), F = 45 (11.2±3.1); August ’95 M = 146 (16.1±2.8), F = 92 (11.0±1.6); October ’95 M = 127 (12.8±2.2), F = 106 (17.8±3.1); August ’96 M = 41 (13.6±3.6), F = 42 (12.7±3.2); October ’96 M = 56 (14.5±3.2), F = 115 (17.3±3.1). Box plots, whiskers and p values as in Figure 4A. (B) Prevalence of antibodies to gSG6 in Mossi (empty columns) and Fulani (grey columns) in the seven different surveys. Whiskers and p values as in Figure 4B. The number of Mossi (M), Fulani (F) and the average age ±95% CI were as follows: August ’94 M = 205 (19.8±2.6), F = 131 (17.7±2.9); October ’94 M = 134 (14.0±2.4), F = 57 (21.5±5.0); March ’95 M = 98 (17.4±3.1), F = 65 (16.7±3.7); August ’95 M = 253 (17.5±2.1), F = 117 (12.0±1.5); October ’95 M = 175 (13.7±2.0), F = 141 (19.9±2.9); August ’96 M = 72 (18.4±3.8), F = 57 (17.9±4.1); October ’96 M = 105 (18.3±3.3), F = 142 (20.0±3.1). (C)Plasmodium parasite rates in Mossi (solid line) and Fulani (dotted line) in the seven different surveys. More than 95% of infections were due to P. falciparum. Bars denote the 95% CI. Numbers of individuals and average age as in B.
