From: The plasticity of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytaemia in relation to age in Burkina Faso
Gametocyte carriage in the absence of microscopically detectable asexual parasites. Bars indicate the proportion of microscopically detected gametocyte carriers in each age category without microscopically confirmed asexual parasites. Error bars indicate the upper and lower limit of the 95% confidence interval around the proportion. The number of gametocyte carriers (without concurrent asexual parasitaemia) for the different age groups was 0.5-2y: 127(17); 2-3y: 171(17); 5-9y: 326(40); 10-15y 174(25); 15-20y: 72(24); 20+y: 114(52).
