Assessing for allele-specific protection in the Zungarococha community: (A) assessing for an association between PfMSP3 allele and subsequent allele, the potential to experience a subsequent P. falciparum infection, and the time-to-next-infection failed to identify a significant association; and (B) comparison of PfMSP3 allele-typed infection and subsequent infection symptom status

No significant association was found that suggested any shift in the asymptomatic rate.
