  1. < 5 means children under 5 years of age; ≥ 5 means children above 5 years of age. Low transmission means P. falciparum prevalence of ≤ 10% (≤ 10% PfPR), moderate transmission means (10–35% PfPR) based on WHO surveillance guidelines for malaria epidemiological stratification [38]; < 1000 and ≥ 1000 are parasite quantification counted per microlitre of blood
