CC, case–control; CS, cross-sectional; DNS, did not state; LDR-FMA, ligase detection reaction–fluorescent microsphere assay; LM, light microscopy; PV, Plasmodium vivax.

aSample size refers to number of participants for whom serology was determined.

b P. vivax infection was determined by light microscopy unless otherwise stated.

cFernandez-Becerra, 2010 [22] reported studies performed in two countries and features twice in Table 1.

dThe studies described by Lima-Junior in 2008 and 2012 [24,26] were conducted in the same area, but the participants were different.

eCohort study with cross-sectional data also included.

fTran, 2005 [30] included data from two different study sites in Brazil.

gTreatment to re-infection study.

hKing, 2008 [35] reported estimates from the same treatment to re-infection study as that described by Cole-Tobian, 2009 [34].

iThis study comprised pregnant women.
