From: The plasticity of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytaemia in relation to age in Burkina Faso
The prevalence and density of gametocytes relative to total parasite carriage by microscopy. The number of asexual parasite carriers (with gametocytes) for the different age groups was 0.5-2y: 297 (127); 3-4y: 468 (171); 5-9y: 1053(326); 10-14y: 690(174); 15-19y: 254(72); 20+y: 285(114). Note: data for those carrying gametocytes in the absence of asexual parasitaemia were excluded (see Figure 3).
