Gametocyte prevalence and density in relation to infectiousness to mosquitoes

(A) Relationship between total parasite density and total gametocyte density. Each symbol is a parasite-positive episode. (B) Percentage of infected mosquitoes in relation to gametocyte density. The size of the symbols reflects the number of mosquitoes dissected. The line represents the best-fitted association and the shaded area is the 95% CI. (C) Gametocyte density by qRT-PCR among individuals who were gametocyte positive in different age groups. The line represents the best-fitted association and the shaded area is the 95% CI. qRT-PCR=quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR.
