Quantifying Heterogeneous Malaria Exposure and Clinical Protection in a Cohort of Ugandan Children

Conclusions. Heterogeneity in P. falciparum exposure and immunity can be independently evaluated using detailed longitudinal studies. Improved understanding of the factors driving immunity will provide key information to anticipate the impact of malaria-control interventions and to understand the mechanisms of clinical immunity.
