Risk factors for malaria infection in central Madagascar: insights from a cross-sectional population survey
- Abstract:
-
Community prevalence of infection is a widely used, standardized metric for evaluating malaria endemicity. Conventional methods for measuring prevalence include light microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDT), but their detection thresholds are inadequate for diagnosing low density infections.
