Seasonal movement of less-immune people from low- to high- transmission regions increase malaria risk and may introduce parasite strains to both areas. This study examined Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity and connectivity between low-transmission highlands and endemic lowlands in Ethiopia to assess the contribution of seasonal agricultural migration in sustaining transmission. P. falciparum qPCR-positive...
