Flowchart of participant enrollment and graphs of annual force of infection rates during a rainy season (A), a nonrainy season (B), and the 2016 dengue outbreak (C) in study of force of infection for dengue virus, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, June–July 2015. Labels along x-axes (e.g., 0–4) indicate age ranges in years. Error bars indicate 95% CIs. To be considered complete, records had to contain lab results and basic demographic information. Seroconversion rates in the paired analyses were based solely on results from one survey to the next (e.g., S2–S3). Dengue serostatus in previous or subsequent surveys was not considered. S, serosurvey.
