Malaria case incidence and malaria parasite density by treatment group over 24 months follow up period

Variable	Intervention group (n = 297)	Control group (n = 292)	P-value
Malaria case incidence*	6.7 (4.8-8.9)	7.7 (5.7-10.1)	0.519
Malaria parasite density**	2658 (1647-4291)	3100 (1831-5249)	0.451

*Malaria case incidence defined as the number of new clinical malaria attacks observed in a given treatment group per 100 person years with 95% confidence intervals shown in brackets.

**Malaria parasite density expressed as geometric mean malaria parasites per microlitre of blood (mps/μL) (positive samples only) with 95% confidence intervals shown in brackets.
