Plasmodium species composition and prevalence in the study population. (A) Estimated all-age prevalence of Plasmodium spp. infections in the study population. This panel displays a histogram of the prevalence of infections with Plasmodium spp. species in the study population. Error bars shows 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) estimated as Jeffreys approximate Bayesian confidence intervals around proportions of observed species. (B) Schematic representation of the number of Plasmodium spp. infections throughout the study population. This panel is a schematic representation of the number of infections with Plasmodium spp. detected throughout the surveys (total number of tested participants n = 420). The circles indicate number of participants positive for each Plasmodium spp. species. The sections where circles overlap represent the number mixed infections with corresponding combinations of more than one Plasmodium spp. Colours reflect infecting Plasmodium spp. including P. falciparum (red), P. malariae (blue), and P. ovale (green)
