Study timelines. Malaria Transmission Dynamics Study timeline shown in grey and green. Serological study timeline shown in blue for the West Coast Region and the Upper River Region (low and moderate transmission settings, respectively). Samples for serological analysis, shown in blue, were processed on the Luminex MAGPIX. Samples from monthly surveys (grey) were analysed using microscopy, rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). As part of the Malaria Transmission Dynamics Study, one round of mass drug administration (MDA) was administered from May to June in both 2014 and 2015 (2015 not shown as no samples from this year were used for serological analysis). Transmission season (shown in red) is approximately June to December each year, and dry season from approximately January to May (shown in yellow)
