Age-dependent increase in intensity (a) and breadth (b) of antibody binding to Plasmodium antigens by 298 plasma samples collected during community MBS in Mae Salid Noi. The average of responses to 184 P. falciparum antigens are shown in blue, responses to 142 P. vivax antigens are shown in red. Top of bars represent the mean value, error bars represent 95 % confidence interval of the mean. Wilcoxon p values for comparison of responses to the two Plasmodium species are shown as asterisks: *<0.05, **≤0.01, ***<0.001; p values greater than 0.05 are not shown. Linear regression lines show 95 % CI as shaded area outside line, the equation for each regression is shown
