From: Age-adjusted Plasmodium falciparum antibody levels in school-aged children are a stable marker of microgeographical variations in exposure to Plasmodiuminfection

Figure 5

Microgeographical patterns in age adjusted Pfs-IgG3 levels stratified by age. Shown are the mean +/- 2 standard errors age adjusted low transmission season Plasmodium falciparum schizont antigen (Pfs)-IgG3 levels of school-aged children (5–17 yrs, n = 574) and adults (>17 yrs, n = 435), who live <0.5 km, 0.6–1.5 km and >1.5 km from the nearest water body (either a permanent stream or a seasonal pond). Statistical significance was determined by ANOVA with Hochberg GT2 post-hoc analysis. **Indicates a significantly lower mean age-adjusted Pfs-IgG3 level than those who live within 0.5 km of the nearest water body, p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
