Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Malaria remains a public health challenge, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where asymptomatic malaria is not uncommon. In the present study, the prevalence of asymptomatic falciparum malaria was investigated in almajirai, and the genetic polymorphisms of chloroquine (CQ) resistance biomarkers were assessed. METHODOLOGY: A total of 440 apparently healthy almajirai between 3 and 12 years of age were...
