a
MOI, multiplicity of infection; IND, indeterminate because infections at delivery and during postpartum period share only high-frequency msp-1 and msp-2 genotypes (>10%). Common alleles are those found at frequencies of 10% or higher in the parasite population, and uncommon alleles are those present at frequencies lower than 10%.
