Evaluation of antibody serology to determine current helminth and Plasmodium falciparum infections in a co-endemic area in Southern Mozambique
Fig 1
Frequencies of helminth and Plasmodium falciparum single infections and polyparasitism in the study cohort.
Rows represent the number of infections by parasite (sets) and columns represent the frequency of single infections and coinfections (intersections) when helminth infection was detected by microscopy (A), qPCR (B) or the combination of both (C). In all cases, infection of P. falciparum was detected by qPCR. In the case of helminth detection by qPCR, there were 25 samples for which helminth qPCR was not available. Filled dots show which set is part of an intersection and when more than one set is involved, they are connected by lines. At the bottom, the sample size and percentage of single infections of polyparasitism with respect to the total of infected individuals are indicated.
