Prevalence and multiplicity of infection of msp1 (a) and msp2 (b) alleles. Each distinct amplicon produced by msp1 or msp2 family specific PCR represents a particular parasite clone. The number of samples that contained distinct alleles (color coded and labelled 1 through 6) for a msp1 (msp1 MOI) or each of the three msp1 families (RO33, MAD20 or K1) or b msp2 (msp2 MOI) or each of the two msp families (3D7 or FC27) are plotted
