Ct-values of individuals in D1 ranked by parasitemia pattern category and mean Ct-value (from highest to lowest).

The red area represents individuals with alternating detectable/ undetectable parasitemia with >50% timepoints having detectable parasitemia, with the y-axis spanning 0 and the minimum Ct-value within the group. The green area represents individuals who always have detectable parasitemia, with the y axis showing the Ct-value range comprising that of individuals with continuous positive detection and at least one observation over the threshold 1. The orange area spans individuals with alternating detectable/ undetectable parasitemia with (TIF)
