From: Host age and Plasmodium falciparum multiclonality are associated with gametocyte prevalence: a 1-year prospective cohort study

Fig. 3

Proportion of gametocyte positive infections stratified by age (a) and gender (b). Each data-point represents the proportion among the respective age group at one of 12 time-points over the 1-year period. Number of individuals (N) in each age and gender group is shown in blue. Triangles represent wet season time-points (June–December) and circles represent dry season time-points (January–May). a There was a significant age-effect on proportion of gametocyte positive infections (p = 0.003, One-way ANOVA). Groups of children aged 1–17 years have similarly high proportions. The > 35 age-group has significantly lower proportion than age-groups ≤ 17 years (each of all age groups was compared to all other groups by Tukey’s multiple comparison tests, and only significant p-values are shown). b There was no significant difference in gametocyte proportion between males and females (p = 0.755, Mann–Whitney test)
