Fig. 1. SARS-CoV-2 epidemic curves in The Gambia in relation to study follow-up and sampling.
Top panel shows case numbers reported in The Gambia (WHO COVID-19 Dashboard. Geneva: World Health Organization, 2020. Available online: https://covid19.who.int/). Middle panel shows RT-PCR-positive events in the study cohort. Cases are coloured by SARS-CoV-2 variant period (pre-Delta, Delta, Omicron), based on dates derived from wider sequence data from The Gambia, corresponding to weeks when >50% of sequenced isolates were first Delta (7 July 2021) or Omicron-lineage (4 December 2021) viruses. Bottom panel shows a number of individuals providing samples for serological analysis during V1 (bleed 1; baseline), V2 (bleed 2; 6-month visit) and V3 (bleed 3; 12-month visit) timepoints. RT-PCR reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
