Parasite and gametocyte carriage by age. a The bars correspond to the left axis and present the prevalence of P. falciparum parasitaemia as detected by qPCR, as well as the prevalence of gametocyte carriers identified among them, by age category. The line corresponds to the right axis and displays the proportion of PCR-positive infections in which mature gametocytes were detected by qRT-PCR. b The distribution of Ct-based estimated gametocyte densities by age among those in whom mature gametocytes were detected by qRT-PCR. Kruskall-Wallis p value for any association with age, p = 0.20
