From: T-cell epitope polymorphisms of the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein among field isolates from Sierra Leone: age-dependent haplotype distribution?

Figure 2

Distribution of csp haplotypes by age category among the PCMH 2006 sequences for which n = 33, 21, and 24 for the 3 respective age groups: (i) less than 5 years (black bars) of age (ii) between 5 and 14 years (grey bars) and (iii) 15 years or older (open bars). Note that all sequences from single-clone as well as the six double-clone infections were used in this analysis. The 3D7 haplotype was found more in children aged less than 15 years while the P-01 allele was more prevalent in adult females, who were mostly antenatal follow-up subjects.
