2 Figure 1 Microsatellite haplotypes of the PfKelch13 flanking regions
Red box=C580Y. Light blue box=wild type. Each row represents one parasite isolate; white cells indicate identical microsatellite alleles compared with the most frequent allele and dark blue cells indicate differences.

3 Figure 2 Study sites A single artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum PfKelch13 C580Y lineage (K13) has spread over an arc involving Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos. Pfplasmepsin2 amplification (PM2), has emerged subsequently within this lineage. Red dots represent location of the study sites.
