Fig 6A records the force of infection for Ascaris (the per host rate of acquisition of worms per unit of time (year)) as a function of age, calculated from individual Ascaris egg count data for Benin. Fig 6B shows the cluster prevalence plotted against the Ascaris mean egg count for individual cluster samples. The curve represents the best fit of a negative binomial probability distribution relating the prevalence of infection and the mean egg count (S1 Text).
