Assessment of the Relationship Between Gametocyte Density, Multiplicity of Infection and Mosquito Infectivity in Plasmodium Falciparum Infections

2020-08-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Malaria is a major public health threat in sub-Saharan Africa. Asymptomatic P. falciparum gametocyte carriers are potential infectious reservoirs for sustaining transmission in many malaria endemic regions. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of gametocyte carriage and some of its associated risk factors among asymptomatic schoolchildren (age 5-15 years) in Mbita, western Kenya...
