24-SNP barcode data from 11 sentinel sites in Haiti (Daniels et al., 2020)

Data from Daniels et al. (2020). Here we give a brief summary of the data - see the original paper for full details.

Sample sites in Haiti included four sentinel sites in three departments (Grand’Anse, Sud, and Nippes) from among 11 sites nationwide established for anti-malarial molecular resistance marker surveillance. Individuals of all ages seeking treatment at clinics located at the sentinel sites with symptoms of malaria who also tested positive for malaria by either microscopy or rapid diagnostic test (RDT) from March 2016 to December 2017 were considered eligible to participate. Interviews were also conducted to collect patient information (including age, gender, recent travel history). Genomic DNA was isolated from dried blood spots and genotyped using a 24-SNP barcode. Samples were designated polygenomic if multiple alleles were observed at two or more positions. After quality filtering stages, what remained was 42 polygenomic samples and 462 monogenomic samples.
