Estimating the Prevalence of Asymptomatic Malaria Parasite Carriage in Southern Ghana: Utility of Molecular and Serological Diagnostic Tools

2021-08-18

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background.</bold> Asymptomatic malaria infections can serve as potential reservoirs for malaria transmission. These infections range from microscopic to submicroscopic densities, making an accurate estimation of asymptomatic parasite carriage highly dependent on the sensitivity of the tool used for the diagnosis. This study sought to evaluate the sensitivities of a variety of mol...
