Summary of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 deletion key results showing pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 deletion results for Plasmodium spp. isolates, by parasite country of origin (where n>4), Australia. National P. falciparum endemicity depicted is measured as population-weighted mean P. falciparum infection rate of children 2–10 years of age, using data available from the Malaria Atlas Project (http://www.map.ox.ac.uk). Data were mapped using the AuthaGraph world map projection to more truthfully visualize the potential paths of dissemination and adjacency of various endemic zones, as this is considered the most accurate representation of land proportions and relative orientations (https://hrcak.srce.hr/185867). P.f., P. falciparum.
