Comparisons of intensity (a) and breadth (b) of antibody responses to Plasmodium antigens by plasma samples from asymptomatic (purple) and febrile (green) malaria cases, segregated by age group. Healthy community samples (qPCR-negative for Plasmodium) are shown in grey. The number of samples (n) in each age group appears in parenthesis. Top of bars represent the mean pixel intensity value of antibody binding to 326 antigens, error bars represent 95 % confidence interval of the mean. For box whisker plots, the box indicates the first and third quartiles, the line inside the box the median. The whiskers represent the minimum and maximum value. Wilcoxon test p values comparing the means between the asymptomatic and febrile cases within each age group are shown as asterisks: **<0.01, ***<0.001; p values greater than 0.05 are not shown
