Antibodies against gametocyte antigens Pfs48/45.6C and Pfs230proC over the course of the study. Infectivity status did not influence the concentrations of IgG and IgM antibodies against gametocyte antigens, Pfs48/45.6C and Pfs230.proC. IgG and IgM antibodies levels (ng/ml, log 10) specific for gametocyte antigens, Pfs48/45.6C and Pfs230.proC were measured monthly [days 14 (a), 42 (b), and 70 (c)] in plasma from all the participants. The antibody concentrations obtained at each time point are plotted in groups based on overall infectivity status, uninfected (n = 11), sporadically infected; ≤ 4 infections (n = 49), persistently infected; ≥ 5 infections (n = 39), and persistent gametocytes; ≥ 5 episodes (n = 11) of gametocytemia. The median and interquartile range of the antibody concentrations are shown and differences between groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. The p values (p = 0.0631–0.994) are listed in Supplementary Table 4.
