Flow diagram of the malaria diagnostic tests in this study. a Results of the different diagnostic tests such as the LM mode (mode for whole blood samples) of the XN-31p, microscopy, and the nested PCR are shown. Results of RDTs were indicated in the bottom column. b Comparison of the test results by the 2 different modes of the XN-31p. For the results of XN-31p, Pf, Others, UNC and Abn indicate the flagging information of “Malaria? (P.f)”, “Malaria? (Others)”, “Malaria? (UNC)” and “MI-RBC Abn Scattergram”, respectively. Pf: P. falciparum, Pv: P. vivax, Po: P. ovale, Pm: P. malariae, Pk: P. knowlesi. *This sample was proved to be P. malariae infection by the microscopy and P. malariae–P. falciparum mixed infection by the nested PCR. **Samples showing discrepant results between microscopy and the nested PCR
