*The EC50 values for artesunate (AS) and dihydroartemisinin (DHA) are expressed as geometric mean ± standard deviation (SD), while the ring survival assay (RSA) values (#) are shown as median (interquartile range).
Comparison among all the years (Kruskal-Wallis test).
Comparison between all field isolates and 3D7 (Wilcoxon signed rank test).
