Figure 1

Map of the study area in Lake Victoria in western Kenya (inset) showing the proportion of Plasmodium spp. infection and P. falciparum seroprevalence. The population of three main areas were subjected in this study: mainland coastal village (Ungoye; area shown in red dashed line), large island (Mfangano) and three small islands (Takawiri, Kibuogi and Ngodhe). The black, red and green pies are proportions of P. falciparum, P. malariae and P. ovale, respectively. A number in each pie graph is the proportion of P. falciparum infection or seropositive. Yellow and blue circles pointed the surveyed catchment areas in January 2012 and August 2012, respectively. The most populated small towns are shown in red circle. LM is light microscopy and PCR is nested PCR. The map was created with ArcGIS software, version 10.4, http://www.esri.com.
