Allele characteristics of four P. malariae markers based on size polymorphisms.

Marker	P. malariae positivity by PCR	Number of alleles		MOI		He	Allele size range [bp]
		distinct	total	max.	mean
pmtrap	87/95 [92%]	11	140	6	1.61	0.60	349 – 469
pmmsp1 F2	72/95 [76%]	15	80	3	1.11	0.81	92 – 694
Pm02	88/95 [93%]	15	136	7	1.55	0.66	200 – 257
Pm09	88/95 [93%]	5	105	4	1.19	0.56	314 - 346

MOI, Multiplicity of infection. H_e, expected Heterozygosity.
