Participant characteristics and model performance of the updated model with PfHRP2 half-life estimate of 4.5 days applied to 6 individuals aged between 23 and 27 years from the study in Namibia in participants with P. falciparum mono-infection

RSS residual sum of squares, RMSE root mean standard error calculated on the mid-point of the minimum and maximum predicted PfHRP2 concentrations—no observations were observed below 80 pg/mL so the last day above the threshold of 80 pg/mL was not able to be reported
