a, Aggregated results from both RDTs, CareStart Pf/Pv (HRP2/Pv-LDH) RDT and SD Bioline Malaria Ag P.f. (HRP2/Pf-LDH) RDT, displayed by region for all P. falciparum infections (n = 2,714). The ‘2 HRP2−, 1 Pf-LDH+’ discordant RDT profile indicates potential infection by pfhrp2/3-deleted P. falciparum. Triangles represent the enrolment sites, including 11 districts and the Kule refugee camp within the Itang district in Gambella. b, Percentage of study participants identified with P. falciparum infection by RDT who had the discordant RDT profile, by district.
