Figure 1From: The plasticity of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytaemia in relation to age in Burkina FasoParasite carriage in different age groups by microscopy. Asex = asexual parasite; gcyt = gametocyte. The number of asexual parasite carriers (with gametocytes) for the different age groups was 0.5-2y: 297 (127); 3-4y: 468 (171); 5-9y: 1053(326); 10-14y: 690(174); 15-19y: 254(72); 20 + y: 285(114).Back to article page
