Selection against deletions is strong and comparable to that resulting from drug resistance mutations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prior modeling suggested that diagnostic selection may drive increased frequency of pfhrp deletions only when fitness costs are mild. Our experiments show that costs of pfhrp deletions are higher than these thresholds, but modeling and empirical results can be reconciled if the duration of infection is short. These results may inform future modeling to understand why pfhrp2\/3 deletions are increasing in some locations (Ethiopia and Eritrea) but not in others (Mekong region).<\/jats:p>\n
