: This study involved secondary analysis <i>P. falciparum</i> whole-genome sequence data. Most of the analyzed data are publicly available. New whole-genome sequence data were generated as part of a long-standing collaboration between investigators at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences (AFRIMS). AFRIMS investigators conducted the clinical studies and collected the samples from which the parasite sequence data were generated and are included as authors. Sequencing was performed at UMSOM using sequencing platforms unavailable at AFRIMS. AFRIMS investigators and staff were involved in data analysis and interpretation through in-person training of staff in analytical approaches and regular virtual meetings of investigators, trainees, and staff from both institutions.
