Regulatory cytokine plasma levels. Comparative analysis of IL-10 (a total production; b paired analysis between infected and treated individuals) and TGF-β among malaria-naïve control group (n = 15), endemic control group (n = 10), P. vivax group (n = 75) and P. vivax-treated group (n = 10) were performed using Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn Post-hoc. A p value <0.05 was considered significant. The dotted lines (—) represent the detection limit of the assay. Paired analysis was performed between P. vivax group (n = 10) and P. vivax-treated group using Paired t-test or Wilcoxon test, according to data distribution. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
