From: Age-shifting in malaria incidence as a result of induced immunological deficit: a simulation study
Uncomplicated episodes averted in cohort born in the first year of the programmes. The areas shaded green indicate the ages at which the intervention is administered. The burden averted in the first 5 years of life is partially shifted to later life, particularly the 5 years immediately following. Although the scale of the effects differs markedly between the two interventions, the general profile is quite similar.
