Molecular methods for tracking residual Plasmodium falciparum transmission in a close-to-elimination setting in Zanzibar

Abstract Background Molecular detection of low-density Plasmodium falciparum infections is essential for surveillance studies conducted to inform malaria control strategies in close-to-elimination settings. Molecular monitoring of residual malaria infections usually requires a large study size, ther...
