Fig. 3From: Exploring the host factors affecting asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection: insights from a rural Burkina Faso studyLogarithmic (log10) parasite density plotted versus age (n = 384). Aparasitaemic individuals (< 20 parasite/µL, n = 304) were excluded from this illustration. A prominent decrease in parasite density below 20 years in a linear fashion can be observed. The locally estimated scatterplot smoothed line is virtually constant for ages > 20Back to article page
