The pie chart shows the proportions of kelch13 alleles in each province where samples were collected. Pie chart size represents the number of samples from the province (N). Wild-type (WT) parasites are predicted to be sensitive to artemisinin. All but two of the kelch13 alleles detected in this study have been associated with delayed parasite clearance, and thus predictive of artemisinin resistance. Since the two rare alleles G357S and G544R are not in World Health Organization’s validated marker list, their association with artemisinin resistance is undetermined. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
