The prevalence and density of asymptomatic <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> infections among children and adults in three communities of western Kenya

2021-04-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Further reductions in malaria incidence as more countries approach malaria elimination require the identification and treatment of asymptomatic individuals who carry mosquito-infective Plasmodium gametocytes that are responsible for furthering malaria transmission. Assessing the relationship between total parasitemia and gametocytemia in field surveys can provide insight as to...
