Seroprevalence and parasite rates of <i>Plasmodium malariae</i> in a high malaria transmission setting of southern Nigeria

2019-08-05

Abstract excerpt

While Plasmodium falciparum continues to be the main target for malaria elimination, other Plasmodium species persist in Africa. Their clinical diagnosis is uncommon while rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), the most widely used malaria diagnostic tool, are only able to distinguish between P. falciparum and non-falciparum species, the latter as ‘pan-species’. Blood samples, both from clinical cases and communites, w...
