Clinical malaria cases reflect the parasite population diversity of the asymptomatic reservoir in West Africa

2026-04-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Malaria transmission persists in Sahelian West Africa, with asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infections acting as a reservoir. Yet malaria epidemiology and research focus heavily on clinical cases. It remains unclear whether parasites causing clinical infections are genetically representative of the asymptomatic reservoir. <h4>Methods</h4> A one-year cohort study (2021–2022) was conducted...
