A schematic of the sample selection process. Uninfected (U) (P. falciparum negative and no malaria symptoms) and asymptomatic (A) (P. falciparum positive and no malaria symptoms) samples were collected during the annual cross-sectional bleed surveys between 2007 and 2017. Subsequent febrile malaria episodes (F) (P. falciparum parasitemia ≥ 2500 parasites/µl and axillary temperature ≥ 37.5 °C) were detected during weekly active surveillance (longitudinal follow-up). P. falciparum detection was based on microscopy. Whole blood from all the sample groups were processed and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated. P. falciparum infected red blood cells (RBCs) were processed from the A and AF paired samples
