a

Plasmodium vivax was detected by light microscopy or quantitative reverse transcription (qRT)-PCR.

b

Plasmodium vivax was detected by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) or qRT-PCR.

c

Plasmodium parasite was detected by genus-specific LAMP or qRT-PCR, but the species of the parasite could not be identified due to low parasitemia. All samples were negative by light microscopy.

d

Parasite was not detected by LAMP or qRT-PCR.

WB, original whole human blood; AB, blood whose plasma had been replaced with AB-serum from a malaria-naïve donor.
