Malaria trends and complexity of infections. A Trends of RDT positive cases at the 8 health centres over the course of the study (blue dotted line) and the number of dried blood spot (DBS) samples collected by month over the course of the study (gray bars). Dark green bars show dry seasons (June to August). B Spatial heterogeneity of complexity of infections. C Seasonal variation of multiplicity of infections. The box- and whisker-plots were generated from the median number clones determined per sample. Boxes indicate the interquartile range, the line indicates the median, and the whiskers show the 95% confidence intervals. Dots indicate any outlier values and colours indicate seasons
