Apara., Aparasitemic; Para., parasitemic; RH, reticulocyte-binding homologue, Sign., significance.

a

For each antigen represented, figures reflect: median value (row 1); 25–75th percentile ([p25–p75]; row 2); and high responders n (%; row 3). High responders by ELISA are those with absorbance ≥75th percentile.

b

All alleles are 3D7 unless otherwise specified.

c

Number of samples tested by ELISA for each antigen.

d

P values calculated using a Kruskal-Wallis test or χ2 test.

*

P ≤ 0.05 is significant.

P ≤ 0.05 is significant, comparing antibody levels among children only (n = 100), children 2–5 and children 6–14 yr, using a Wilcoxon rank sum test (P values not shown).
