From: The plasticity of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytaemia in relation to age in Burkina Faso
Parasite carriage by quantitative nucleic acid based amplification (QT-NASBA) in different age groups. Total parasite prevalence and density were determined by 18S QT-NASBA; gametocyte prevalence and density by Pfs 25 QT-NASBA. The number of parasite carriers (with concurrent gametocytaemia) for the different age groups was 0.5-4y: 74(60); 5-9y: 93(79); 10-19y: 117(83); 20 + y 108(67).
