  1. For microscopic examination, n: total number diagnosed by microscopy for each category, Pf P. falciparum mono-infection, Pf-Pv P. falciparum and P. vivax mixed infection, Pf-Pm P. falciparum and P. malariae mixed infection, Pv P. vivax mono-infection, Pm P. malariae mono-infection, Neg negative microscopic results. Percentages are calculated against the total number diagnosed by microscopic examination across all categories
