Spatial Effects on the Multiplicity of Plasmodium falciparum Infections

MOI vs. Parasite Prevalence: Spatial Model and Null Model Predictions vs. Field Data.
Panel A shows the spatial model prediction (red, with 95% CI band), the null-model prediction (black), the model with no spatial features but age based exposure and infection duration (blue, dashed) and the field data (dots). Spatial model predictions were smoothened by appying a lowess algorithm. Panel B shows the data gathered in the literature review grouped into 10% prevalence ranges using box and whisker plots (boxes are median/interquartile ranges, whiskers are ranges).
