Table 2.

Comparison of blood meals sources containing P. falciparum parasites by sex and age of the human genotype detected in the blood meal

Human host		Infected blood meala	Uninfected blood meala	p-value
Sex	Male	92 (0.36)	164 (0.64)	0.86
	Female	59 (0.35)	109 (0.65)
Age (years)	≤ 5	8 (0.57)	6 (0.43)	< 0.0001b
	6–15	26 (0.42)	36 (0.58)
	16–30	3 (0.12)	23 (0.88)
	31–75	12 (0.15)	66 (0.85)

^aTotals differ because sex is available for every human genotype in blood meals, whereas age requires matching to an enrolled participant
