MOIs of Plasmodium falciparum infections in the five study areas

Site	No. of isolates genotyped	Isolates* with particular number of genotypes						Mean MOI†	Proportion of isolates with > 1 genotype
		1	2	3	4	5	6
Kibuogi	35	7	10	12	5	1	0	2.51	0.80
Mfangano	50	14	9	13	12	1	1	2.60	0.72
Ngodhe	17	3	2	3	5	4	0	3.29	0.82
Takawiri	36	7	10	14	4	0	1	2.53	0.81
Ungoye	50	6	6	13	22	3	0	3.20	0.88

MOI = multiplicity of infection.

^*The isolates per study site with the minimum (1) and maximum (6) detected number of genotypes.

^†Mean MOI calculated as total number of parasite genotypes detected per number of isolates analyzed in each study site.
