Parasite density of asymptomatic infections. Submicroscopic parasite densities as measured by 18S based qPCR for P. falciparum (a) and P. vivax (b) in microscopically positive (black circles) and only submicroscopic (colorless) asymptomatic malaria parasite carriers. Presented in the Y-axis is the Log10 transformed parasite density per µL of blood from the two surveys in school children from five schools (X-axis). The lines refer to the median parasite density from children in the specific school. Numbers below the figure indicate the qPCR parasite prevalence during the two surveys in the respective school. ND not determined
