We diagnosed 74/148 (50.0%) of the participants as Pan+P.f− (i.e., non-falciparum Plasmodium infection), 4/148 (2.7%) as Pan+P.f+ (i.e., P. falciparum single or mixed species infection), and 70/148 (47.3%) as Pan−P.f− (i.e., negative for Plasmodium infection) by RDT. This evidence concerns the gene OCA2 and infection.
