From: A cross-sectional study of asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection burden and risk factors in general population children in 12 villages in northern Uganda

Bar graphs showing age-group patterns of weighted Plasmodium falciparum parasite prevalence, based on RDT, stratified by whether the village is in a district where indoor residual insecticide spraying (IRS) against mosquitoes was implemented (IRS district: red color) or not (non-IRS district: green color) (a) and the GMPD parasites/µL (b). Results are from apparently healthy, microscopy-positive children enrolled in 12 randomly selected villages between October 2011 and February 2014 in northern Uganda. The unweighted number of participants in each age-group is shown. In b, the open circle, or rectangles shows the GMPD parasites/µL, the lines show the 95% CIs of the GMPD. GMPD results were available on 328 with positive results of 339 (includes 1 subject who was RDT negative) tested by thick film microscopy; thick film negative subjects were not included (see Table 1)
