Table 2 Genetic diversity of MSP1 from 2005 and 2009

	2005	2009	OR	p value
No. of Samples	71	98
No. of alleles	35	47
No. of different MSP1- K1 alleles	22	21	1.85 (0.95-3.62)	p > 0.05
No. of different MSP1- MAD20 alleles	11	17	1.21 (0.57-2.55)	p > 0.05
No. of different MSP1- RO33 alleles	2	9	0.40 (0.19-0.85)	p < 0.05
No. of clones	90	131
MOI	1.27 ± 0.44	1.34 ± 0.47		p > 0.05
H _E	0.94	0.91

MOI mean multiplicity of infection
H_E expected heterozygosity. This is defined as the probability that two randomly chosen alleles are different in the population
OR Odd ratio
