| MSP3.3-Cterm | 1.9 ± 1.0 | 0.1-3.6 | 93.3 |
| MSP3.4-Cterm | 2.3 ± 1.1 | 0.2-4.1 | 95.6 |
| MSP3.7-Cterm | 1.3 ± 0.8 | 0.1-3.4 | 91.1 |
| MSP3.8-Cterm | 1.8 ± 0.9 | 0.2-3.6 | 91.1 |

To calculate the prevalence values, antibody responses were considered positive when the net OD value of each serum sample was greater than the mean OD + 3 SD of control serum samples. The prevalence values were not statistically different (Pearson's χ2 test). The mean net OD values represent the mean responses of the positive serum samples.
