Msp-1 and Msp-2 typing data were combined with drug resistance allele typing to determine the prevalence of mutations at each codon in monogenomic, polygenomic. The z-test for 2 population proportions was used to compare the allele prevalence in each country. The test is significant if the p value is less than 0.05
