Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Separate studies carried out in Farafenni, The Gambia and Ifakara, Tanzania in 1990–1994 provided comparative data on population age structure, population gametocyte prevalences and gametocyte carrier infectivity. The percentage of the population estimated to be infective to mosquitoes was 5·5% and 3·8% in The Gambia and Tanzania, respectively. The age groups 1–4 years, 5–9 years, 10–19 years and 20 years or more comprised 17·5%, 21·7%, 22·2% and 37·9%, respectively, of the infectious population in The Gambia; the corresponding figures for Tanzania were 30·9%, 25·2%, 15·7% and 28·1 %. These figures are in broad agreement with those from other published studies which estimated the infectious reservoir directly and suggest that adults contribute significantly to the infectious reservoir of malaria, particularly in areas of intense seasonal transmission. Control measures aimed at reduction of transmission may have only a limited effect in areas of moderate seasonal transmission if directed only at children.
