  1. SNP single nucleotide polymorphism
  2. aData was obtained from the 2015 National Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS 2015). Results indicate RDT positivity among all age groups screened during the study period. SNP data for A376G and G202A (at the right end of the table) is given for the phenotypically normal individuals only. IQR, 25th–75th percentile
