ABSTRACT
Seroepidemiological data are becoming important tools in determining transmission patterns of malaria. We have undertaken a study in 2 different ecological zones in southern Ghana during both the dry and wet seasons. Virtually all the subjects studied were positive to the crude parasite antigen (92); with majority showing high titres in both areas. Whilst there was a statistical difference in Geometrical Mean Titre (GMT) between the two areas; seasonal variation was not seen. Antibody levels to the Pfl55/RESA and its repeat pepetide (EENV)6 increased progres notsively with age in endemic areas. These findings have relevance in determining malaria transmission in endemic areas
