Genetic evidence that Plasmodium falciparum infections persist throughout the 6-month dry season. A, Six P. falciparum microsatellite loci were examined in peripheral blood samples collected from 91 P. falciparum–infected subjects in January and May 2012. Each color represents different allele sizes after adjustment to 3 bp bins. B, Proportion of subjects with different number of P. falciparum clones determined by size differences in the polymorphic region of msp2 in January (n = 124) and May 2012 (n = 128) and overlapping at the 2 cross-sectional time points (n = 90) in the respective age groups.
