Relationship between the MOI, host age and sex, and parasite density. a Effect of season on multiplicity of infection (MOI), defined as the number of different parasite genotypes co-existing within a particular infection. Each color bar represents the average MOI for each season. b Effect of host age (in years) on MOI. Each color line represents a linear relationship fitted to the MOI values for each season (blue, rainy; orange = dry season). c Effect of host sex on MOI. Each color bar represents the average MOI for each sex by season (blue, rainy season; orange, dry season). d Effect of parasite density (number of asexual forms per microliter of blood) on MOI. Each color line represents a linear relationship fitted to the MOI values for each season (blue, rainy season; orange, dry season)
