Altitude, not potential larval habitat availability, explains pronounced variation in<i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>infection prevalence in the western Kenya highlands

2022-12-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Progress in malaria control has stalled over the recent years. Knowledge on main drivers of transmission explaining small-scale variation in prevalence can inform targeted control measures. <h4>Methods</h4> We collected finger-prick blood samples from 3061 individuals irrespective of clinical symptoms in 20 clusters in Busia in western Kenya and screened for Plasmodium falcipa...
