aGap time models with common regression coefficients using Firth’s penalized likelihood

bClinical malaria episode defined using the primary outcome definition, i.e., an episode of malaria with axillary temperature of ≥ 37.5 °C and asexual P. falciparum density of ≥ 2500 parasites/mm3 of blood

cHazard ratio and 95% confidence intervals for risk of multiple clinical malaria episodes after day 90

dCytophilic ratio is the sum of IgG1 and IgG2 titers divided by the sum of the IgG3 and IgG4 titers
