Table 1.

Seroprevalence test method and results for 73 studies. The country of study is also given. Seroprevalence results are given as a percentage of the surveyed population. The studies are ordered by year. Nd = not done. Table S3 summarises the study designs for each paper. Note that antigen names have been taken directly from the published manuscripts for the table below, except for formatting changes, e.g., MSP-119 has been updated to MSP1-19 where necessary.
