CI = confidence interval; MDA = mass drug administration; MSP-119 = merozoite surface protein 119. The multilevel model included Ab response to gSG6-P1, age group, gender, and MDA at the individual level, long-lasting impregnated nets use at the household level and season, the population size at each survey, the temperature, and relative humidity at the village level.
