Malaria in eastern Sudan is characterised by limited seasonal transmission, with the majority of the year remaining transmission-free. Some inhabitants who contract malaria during the transmission season retain long-lasting sub-patent infections, which probably initiate transmission the following year. Here we have monitored Plasmodium falciparum infection prevalence and gametocyte production during the dry...
