Figure 5.

Cross-validated Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and Areas Under the Curve (AUCs) of serological responses against PvMSP8 for detecting malaria exposure. Serological responses against PvMSP8 were measured by ELISA in a population of 1251 individuals in riverine communities in Mazan. A first definition of P. vivax exposure was a positive P. vivax result (by microscopy and/or qPCR) at the time of the sample collection (blue line), while a second definition included individuals with a positive result and/or the antecedent of P. vivax malaria in the past month (red line). No significant difference between results was found (p > 0.05).
