Schematic diagram of the IgG antibody response against recombinant VIR proteins in each individual with patent P. vivax malaria. The antibody level was expressed as Index of Reactivity calculated as described in the Methods section. Values of IR ≥ 1.0 were considered as positive. Individuals primary-infected are shown in bold and underlined. Individual responses were categorized as follows: negative individuals (), individuals with IR between 1 to < 2.5 (), individuals with IR between 2.5 to < 5.0 () and individuals with IR ≥ 5.0 ().
