Relationship between telomere length and telomerase expression in blood of subset of travelers with RNA samples (n = 8, observations = 39) followed over one year after a successfully treated Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection. (a) Dynamics of telomerase expression level (log) after single acute malaria infection in peripheral blood; each gray circle represents the telomerase expression of individual sample, solid black lines represent the mean at each sampling point, and error bars denote the ± SE. (b) Pearson correlation (adjusted for cluster‐robust standard errors) between telomerase expression and telomere length. (c) Telomere length, telomerase expression level (log), and CDKN2A level (log) at the respective sampling time points. Bars represent the mean values and error bars denote the ± SE
