Dry season prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum in asymptomatic Gambian children, with a comparative evaluation of diagnostic methods

2022-03-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Subclinical infection with Plasmodium falciparum remains highly prevalent, yet diagnosing these often low density infections remains a challenge. Infections can be subpatent, falling below the limit of detection for conventional thick-film microscopy and rapid diagnostic testing (RDT). In this study, we characterised the prevalence of subclinical P. falciparum infections in school-aged childr...
