Mock and natural infection sample composition. a Mock infection samples were constructed from mixtures of P. falciparum and human DNA to mimic the parasite DNA concentrations found in extracted low-density infections. b DNA from up to five clonal cultured parasite lines was combined to create each mock sample, leading to within-sample haplotype counts of one to four. c Natural infection samples were previously collected and extracted from a combination of symptomatic patients and asymptomatic carriers [1]. Parasite densities were determined by blood smear
