The data is based on 3 cohorts in Kilifi of varying malaria transmission intensities, comprising Ngerenya (low transmission), Junju (moderate to high transmission), and Chonyi (high transmission). The data were prospectively collected between 1998 and 2014 for Ngerenya, 2005 and 2010 for Junju, and 1999 and 2001 for Chonyi. In these cohorts, children were recruited at birth for weekly clinical malaria monitoring until the age of 15 years.
