Figure 2. Distribution of var transcripts and genes by encoded N‐terminal CIDR domain type within patient groups and the average Plasmodium falciparum genome.

Red: CIDRα1.[1/8] (DC8, binds EPCR), orange: CIDRα1.[4–7] (group A, binds EPCR), green: CIDRα2‐6 (group B/C, binds CD36), blue: CIDRβ/γ/δ (group A, unknown binding phenotype), grey: var1, white: CIDR type not identified. Severe malaria (SM), cerebral malaria (CM), severe anaemia (SA) and uncomplicated malaria (UM).
