The difference in parasite density between P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri malaria. IV inverse variance, CI confidence interval, SD standard deviation, Std. mean difference Standard mean difference (SMD), Random random-effects model, Total number of all P. ovale spp. cases, Lower in curtisi: The SMD of parasite density in P. ovale curtisi cases was lower than that in P. ovale wallikeri cases. Higher in curtisi: The SMD of parasite density in P. ovale curtisi cases was higher than that in P. ovale wallikeri cases. Mean of parasite density is in parasites per microliter (parasites/µL).
