^*Samples with deletions of hrp2 and hrp3. Note that these samples are also counted as deletions in the columns for hrp2, and for hrp3 (e.g., in Brazil 87 samples carried hrp2 deletion, of which 86 also carried hrp3 deletion).

^†Samples with only a proportion of all parasites carrying the deletion.
