Malaria parasites	Clusters	Latitude	Longitude	Start/end date	N	Observed cases	Exp. case	RR	p value
P. vivax	Most likely	24.73918	98.31948	2005/2009	10	7011	67.29	170.70	0.001
P. vivax	Secondary	23.52086	108.63520	2013/2013	24	955	1.13	895.75	0.001
P. falciparum	Most likely	33.03381	117.03400	2005/2009	32	10,829	2538.07	103.88	0.001
