Sample type		Results
Malaria samples	P. malariae	Negative (4/4−/−)
	P. vivax	Negative (10/10−/−)
	P. ovale	Negative (10/10−/−)
Hepatitis B virus positive specimens		Negative (10/10−/−)
Hepatitis C virus positive specimens		Negative (10/10−/−)
Human Immunodeficiency Virus positive specimens		Negative (10/10−/−)
Treponema pallidum positive specimens		Negative (10/10−/−)
