Figure 2.

Total number of Plasmodium falciparum infection types and categorization of pfcsp haplotypes within these infections. A, Asymptomatic and symptomatic P falciparum-positive samples were captured during 14 months of sampling. Symptomatic infections were captured during as-needed sick visits and asymptomatic infections during monthly visits. A person’s initial infection is light gray. Subsequent infections for that person were used for outcome ascertainment (dark gray). B, Overlap of pfcsp haplotype categories across all symptomatic and asymptomatic P falciparum infections (N = 622). Numbers indicate the number of infections that had haplotypes within each category: new, recurrent, or persistent.
