<span style="font-size:80%">Notes:</br></span>
<span style="font-size:80%"><sup>1</sup> HRP2 mutation mean that in some geographical areas the diagnostic sensitivity may be significantly lower for HRP2-based tests (see below)</br></span>
<span style="font-size:80%"><sup>2</sup> Low parasite number is considered as (<1000 parasites/μL) a level that may cause symptoms in children or non-immune travellers</br></span>
<span style="font-size:80%"><sup>3</sup> There have been relatively few studies with this species so caution is required in RDT interpretation</br></span>
