Latency periods for malaria cases in Jiangsu Province. a All cases; b P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri cases. The time elapsing, in days, for each episode of malaria was calculated by subtracting arrival date when patient (migrant worker overseas) returned back to China from onset of symptom date. The midline of each box-plot is the median, with the edges of the box representing the interquartile intervals. Whiskers delineate the 5th and 95th percentiles. The black dots mean the outliers of days elapsing between arrivals in China and onset and these outliers were removed when statistical analysis was conducted. The mixed P. ovale cases were six P. ovale sp. cases co-infected with P. f. Because there were only two P. malariae cases co-infected with P. f and the number of mixed P. malariae cases didn’t satisfy with box-plot
