Figure 5

Results of the Beta GLM-b investigating the relationship between Sporozoite rates (SR) and Human-Blood Index (HBI). Upper histograms represent the distribution of SR for HBI values observed in this study; x axis represents the SR expressed in percent values; y axis represent the frequency of events occurred in the simulation (see Materials & Methods); black lines are the 95% confidence intervals (bold for meta-analysis estimate, narrow for our study). Lower plot represent the observed values of HBI and SR (black dots). Vertical bands are the 95% confidence intervals of the expected SR value from the Beta GLM. Red dots represent SR obtained by nested-PCR. Blue dots represent SR obtained by nested-PCR halved according to the higher sensitivity of nested-PCR compared to widely used ELISA method.
