BACKGROUND:School surveys provide an operational approach to assess malaria transmission through parasite prevalence. There is limited evidence on the comparability of prevalence estimates obtained from school and community surveys carried out at the

Summary A sensitive molecular assay was developed to quantify male and female Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. Its application in 2 clinical trials demonstrates that the early effects of primaquine may be due to gametocyte fitness rather than sex r

Background The human population in the highlands of Nyanza Province, western Kenya, is subject to sporadic epidemics of Plasmodium falciparum. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) are used widely in this ar
