Antibodies against the asexual antigen EBA175 RIII–V over the course of the study. Anti-EBA175RIII–V IgG antibody concentrations (ng/ml, log 10) 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) were assessed using P. falciparum Pf18S rRNA and Pfs25 transcripts for the detection of total parasite and gametocyte infections respectively. The median and interquartile range is shown and one-way ANOVA did not detect differences between the groups. The p values (p = 0.1647–0.7274) are listed in Supplementary Table 4.
