Sensitivity and specificity of MG-LAMP and microscopy using PET-PCR as a reference

	Method	Sensitivity	Specificity
Genus^a	Microscopy (n = 91)	83% (95% CI 67.22–92.66%)	100% (95% CI 93.02–100.00%)
Genus^a	MG-LAMP (n = 91)	90% (95% CI 76.34–97.21%)	94% (95% CI 83.76–98.77%)
P. falciparum	Microscopy (n = 91)	64% (95% CI 93.02–100.00%)	99% (95% CI 93.23–99.97%)
P. falciparum	MG-LAMP (n = 39)	82% (95% CI 48.22–97.72%)	100% (95% CI 95.49–100.00%)
P. vivax	Microscopy (n = 91)	83% (95% CI 65.28–94.36%)	98% (95% CI 91.20–99.96%)
P. vivax	MG-LAMP (n = 39)	90% (95% CI 73.47–97.89%)	100% (95% CI 94.13–100.00%)

^aSamples which were negative for genus were considered to be negative for species in the sensitivity and specificity calculations
