Five <i>P. ovale</i> positive samples contained unique <i>tra</i> gene polymorphisms identified by DNA sequencing.

aP. ovale wallikeri type 1 (HM594180, nucleotides 1–1171) was utilized as a reference for DNA sequence alignment of P. ovale wallikeri positive samples with unique polymorphisms (Po05, Po12, and Po20). b Dashes (-) indicate lack of an insertion. Samples Po12 and Po20 contained an 18 base pair insertion between nucleotide position 171 and 172 based on the reference sequence. cP. ovale curtisi type 1 (HM594182, nucleotides 1–1117) was utilized as a reference for DNA sequence alignment of P. ovale curtisi positive samples with unique polymorphisms (Po06 and Po07). Five P. ovale positive samples contained unique tra gene polymorphisms identified by DNA sequencing.
