Abstract:This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of asymptomatic and subpatent
P. falciparum
infections in the city of Bouaké, Central Côte d’Ivoire, to compare the performance of three tests, and to investigate potential
P. falciparum
histidine-rich protein 2 (
pfhrp2
) gene deletions. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in nine neighborhoods in Bouaké in 2016. Matched light microscopy (LM), rapid diagnostic test (RDT), and quantitative PCR (q… Show more
