* Total number of patients who experienced recurrent malaria/parasitaemia excluding those patients whose recurrence occurred prior to the earliest day following therapy on which samples were collected for genotyping.

Samples not successfully genotyped include those for which genotyping was not attempted, for which genotyping failed to give a result, or for which genotyping gave indeterminate results.
