Fig. 2: Gametocyte-containing infections cluster among individuals and households.

Heat map showing all Pf infections and gametocyte-containing infections in the population at routine visits over time by quadrant and household. Each tile represents a household. Each row within a tile (y-axis) represents a single participant over time, and each column (x-axis) represents study visits over time with the infection status for a given participant at a given visit indicated by color: no Pf detected (green), Pf detected but without gametocytes (gray), low density gametocytes detected (<10/μl, red), high density gametocytes detected (≥10/μl, dark red), missing visit (white). Households are sorted by the most frequent gametocyte infections (top) to the least.
