Fig. 1

Distribution of malaria episodes. Panel a shows the distribution of episodes by age-blocks. Children are stratified by the amount of exposure to parasites in their environment into three tertiles; green line, highest exposure index; blue line, medium exposure index; and red line, lowest exposure index. Panel b shows an overlay of the expected Poisson over the observed distribution of numbers of clinical malaria episodes. Panel c is the distribution of excess malaria (observed minus expected) determined after 100 simulations of the zero-inflated binomial distribution of the numbers of clinical episodes
