Figure 4

Association of invasion-related genes (IRG) relative transcript levels and parasite density. (a) Effects of 10% increase in relative transcript levels on parasite density by optic microscopy (linear regression models adjusted by age and clinical presentation) are shown with the 95% confidence interval for each specific IRG. Black symbols represent significant associations between IRG relative transcript levels and parasite density. From left to right: all population, only children and only adults. (b) Parasite density by optic microscopy according to tertile categorization of pfrh5 relative transcript levels in the parasite population.
