Fig 3. IgM and IgG antibodies in the study population.

Fig 3

A) Overall data. Data are presented as boxplots that illustrate the medians and the maximum and minimum. B) IgM and IgG distribution by sex; C) IgM and IgG distribution by locality. P-values obtained on comparing the 4 post-outbreak areas with the endemic area. When comparing pairs of localities we obtained significance for IgG with the following analysis: Guayaquiles and Huancabamba (P = 0.0001); Los Ranchos and Huancabamba (P = 0.0002); Mayland and Huancabamba (P = 0.0201); Tunal and Huancabamba (P<0.0001). D) IgM and IgG distribution by age groups. P-values obtained comparing the antibody levels of subjects between ≤ 25 years with ≥ 26 years. In panels B, C and D the data are presented as boxplots that illustrate the medians and the 25th and 75th quartiles, and the whiskers represent the 10% and 90% percentiles. Outliers are marked with circles. P-values were calculated using the Mann-Whitney test.
