The dynamics of Plasmodium parasites after initiating artesunate-amodiaquine (AS-AQ) treatment (n = 184). A The overall prevalence of Plasmodium parasites over the 70-day period after ACT treatment by microscopy and nested PCR (PCRn). B Comparison of parasitaemia as determined by microscopy before and after treatment. Data have been presented as box plot and the geometric mean of the parasite load is denoted by the plus symbol ( +). Parasite densities were log10 transformed and compared using one-way ANOVA test for three or more groups and unpaired t-test for two groups (***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 and ns represents not significant). C The prevalence of P. falciparum by age (months) over 70 days after ACT treatment. D The prevalence rate of gametocyte before and after ACT treatment
