Malaria has shown a decline between 2010-2020 in Africa. This success was partly achieved through the integrated and systematic approach of antimalarial deployment in different settings in Africa.
Accumulating evidence suggests that asymptomatic carriers contribute to the bulk of malaria transmission in Sub-Saharan Africa. In low transmission settings, much of the asymptomatic reservoir – people carrying the disease without showing symptoms - is submicroscopic, thus invisible to commonly used rapid tests. A better understanding of human-to-mosquito transmission from these low-density infections can inform strategies for interrupting transmission.
