Prevalence of subpatent Plasmodium falciparum infections in regions with varying transmission intensities and implications for malaria elimination in Mainland Tanzania

Prevalence of subpatent Plasmodium falciparum infections in regions with varying transmission intensities and implications for malaria elimination in Mainland Tanzania

Abstract Background Subpatent Plasmodium falciparum infections, defined as infections with parasite density below the detection limit of routine malaria diagnostic tests, contribute to infectious reservoirs, sustain transmission, and cause the failure of elimination strategies in target areas.
