The relationship between prevalence (defined as the maximum recorded parasite prevalence rate in any given age group) and EIR from Beier et. al [17] (3.1 a, 3.2 a–b) and OpenMalaria simulations (3.1 b, 3,2 d).

<p>In <b>3.1</b> the mean value is shown as a line inside the box, the 25th to 75th percentile is shown by the box, and the range of values is shown by the lines outside the box. In <b>3.2</b> grey triangles represent simulation results without (light gray) and with (dark gray) seasonality as described by (the seasonality index , number of peaks) (<a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003812#pcbi-1003812-g001" target="_blank"><b>Figure 1</b></a>). The lines show the estimated relationships with seasonality (2, 2) (dashed) and without seasonality (0, 0) (unbroken) using fractional polynomial regression. <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003812#pcbi-1003812-g003" target="_blank">Figures <b>3.1a</b> and <b>3.2a–b</b></a> have been reproduced from Beier et al <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003812#pcbi.1003812-Beier1" target="_blank">[17]</a> with permission.
