Study

name:	Antibodies to epitopes on merozoite and sporozoite surface antigens as serologic markers of malaria transmission: studies at a site in the dry zone of Sri Lanka.
description:	Antibodies were measured in sera collected in February at the end of the main malaria transmission season and three months later in May during the low transmission period. Concentrations and prevalence of antibodies to the epitope decreased with time after the end of malaria transmission in adults and children.
