1. Consistent with a single species P.falciparum infection
2. Consistent with a single species non-P.falciparum infection
3. Most consistent with a dual species infection including P.falciparum
4. Most consistent with a dual species infection not including P.falciparum
5. Most consistent with a dual species infection not including P.falciparum
6. An unreportable test
