Crude or adjusted by gestational age (^a) linear regression models were estimated with eotaxin-2 and eotaxin-3 as dependent variables and gestational age or Plasmodium spp. infection as independent variables, for the malaria exposed pregnant women group EP (n_Eo2 = 145, n_Eo3 = 60), including recruitment (n_Eo2 = 54, n_Eo3 = 40) and delivery (n_Eo2 = 91, n_Eo3 = 20) timepoints. Plasmodium infection included P. vivax or P. falciparum infections. Bold = p-value < 0.1
