Fig. 2From: Effect of transmission intensity on hotspots and micro-epidemiology of malaria in sub-Saharan AfricaHotspots of symptomatic parasitaemia. a displays a scatter plot of the number of significant hotspots per study area against malaria positive fraction, b shows the log risk ratios of malaria within the primary hotspot against the malaria positive fraction and c shows the –log (p values) of the primary hotspots against malaria positive fraction. The blue lines in a, b and c show the fitted multiple fractional polynomial model predictions after adjusting for study design and the overall age of study participants. Shaded areas in a, b and c represent 95% confidence intervals (CIs)Back to article page
