The relationship between age and Plasmodium falciparum parasite rate ( Pf PR) [Adapted from data provided in ref [9]]. Each line represents the age profile for population living in varying transmission settings: South and Central Somalia (Pf PR among 5-14 year olds (Pf PR5-14) = 24.6%) [74]; Kilifi, coastal Kenya (Pf PR5-14 = 37.5%) [75]; Navrongo, Ghana (Pf PR5-14 = 66.9%) [76] and Kilombero, Tanzania (PfPR5-14 = 83.7%) [77].
