Persistent malaria transmission from asymptomatic children despite highly effective malaria control in eastern Uganda

2021-05-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Persistent asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infections are common in malaria-endemic settings, but their contribution to transmission is poorly understood. <h4>Methods</h4> A cohort of children and adults from Tororo, Uganda was closely followed for 24 months by continuous passive surveillance and routine assessments. P. falciparum parasite density, gametocyte density and gen...
