Relationship between the number of microsatellite markers typed and the prevalence of multiple-clone infections detected in 164 Plasmodium falciparum and 87 P. vivax isolates collected in Pursat province, western Cambodia. The markers were added one by one in decreasing order of virtual heterozygosity (HE; see Tables 1 and 2). By combining the nine microsatellite loci with the highest HE values, all P. vivax multiple-clone infection could be detected. Note that when the same number of markers for P. falciparum and P. vivax is used, a greater prevalence of multiple-clone infections is always diagnosed among P. vivax isolates.
