Prevalence of submicroscopic malaria in low transmission state of Punjab: A potential threat to malaria elimination
1 Jan 2019

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Submicroscopic malaria infections with low parasite density serve as a silent reservoir for maintaining residual transmission in the population. These infections should be identified and targeted to be eliminated for sustained malaria control. The conventional methods of diagnosis such as light microscopy and rapid diagnostic kits often fail to detect low density infections. Therefore,...
