- Pf = Plasmodium falciparum; Pv = Plasmodium vivax; RT-PCR = real-time polymerase chain reaction.
- a − If deletion of pfhrp2 and + if presence of pfhrp2.
- (B) Group B, sensitive to PfHRP2, detection, number of type 2 repeats × type 7 repeats between 50 to 100 repeats.
- (C) Group C, non sensitive PfHRP2 detection, number of type 2 repeats × type 7 repeats < 43 repeats.
- b − If deletion of pfhrp3 and + if presence of pfhrp3.
- c Thin and thick blood smears were negative.
