Seroprevalence, measured by IgG ELISA, of dengue IgG by age at enrollment and fitted prevalence using the FOI per year in study of force of infection for dengue virus, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, June–July 2015. Graph shows observed seroprevalence at enrollment among all 2,897 participants and fitted seroprevalence using FOI. In the FOI analysis part A, the FOI per year was 0.0595 (95% CI 0.0566–0.0624), estimated by binomial regression, with the assumption of constant risk across ages and calendar time prior to the enrollment serosurvey, and a complementary log-log link, with log(midpoint of age) as an offset. The intercept is interpreted as the logarithm of the FOI. FOI, force of infection.
