Fig. 1

Comparison of P. falciparum parasite densities in capillary (CB) and venous blood (VB). a Trophozoite densities; b gametocyte densities. Data from N = 137 asymptomatic children carrying gametocytes at the time of inclusion and attending seven different schools. Parasite densities are shown on a logarithmic scale to take into account the skewed distribution of parasite counts
