a

A, Guy-A; ACPR, adequate clinical and parasitological response; BT, body temperature; D0 to D35, days 0 to 35; dCQ, desethylchloroquine; ID, identification; LCF, late clinical response; Lost, lost to follow-up; LPF, late parasitological response; ND, not determinable; No, no modification of the treatment; NR, not received; pvmdr1, Plasmodium vivax multidrug resistance 1 gene; WT, wild type. Pvcrt-o gene copy numbers have been determined based on two technical replicates.

b

Reasons for recurrence not determinable because no drug concentration was available.

c

Recurrence linked to subtherapeutic concentration of drug: the CQ+dCQ concentration was <100 ng/ml.

d

Treatment failure (i.e., parasite resistance): the CQ+dCQ concentration was >100 ng/ml, with the same parasite genotype observed on D0 and DF.

e

Recurrence observed in patients with extended follow-up (D31 to D35) or patients without follow-up (D1 to D35).

f

Values separated with a hyphen mean that this microsatellite has a multiclonal stucture represented by the different observed sizes at the studied locus.
