  1. The overall numbers (absolute) parasite haplotypes on the Pfdhfr–Pfdhps genes in the samples successfully analysed (n = 234). Of all the combined haplotypes, the quintuple CIRNI-SGEAA, sextuple CIRNI-AGEAA, CIRNI-SGEGA were more frequently detected
  2. Bold underline indicates the amino acid changes, while SAKAA and CNCSI represent the wildtype haplotype for Pfdhps and Pfdhfr, respectively
