TL;DR: In this low-endemic setting aiming for malaria elimination, asymptomatic infections were highly prevalent and responsible for the majority of onward mosquito infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
The shape of the iceberg: quantification of submicroscopic Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax parasitaemia and gametocytaemia in five low endemic settings in Ethiopia

TL;DR: This study adds to the available evidence on the wide-scale presence of sub microscopic parasitaemia by quantifying submicroscopic parasite densities and concurrent gametocyte densities in schoolchildren from five settings in northwest Ethiopia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Submicroscopic carriage of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax in a low endemic area in Ethiopia where no parasitaemia was detected by microscopy or rapid diagnostic test.

TL;DR: The detection of a substantial number of subpatent malaria infections in an apparently asymptomatic population without evidence for malaria transmission by conventional diagnostics raises questions about the path to malaria elimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium falciparum is evolving to escape malaria rapid diagnostic tests in Ethiopia

TL;DR: In this article, a prospective, cross-sectional survey of 12,572 participants in Ethiopia reveals that malaria diagnostics miss almost 10% of cases owing to a gene deletion in Plasmodium falciparum that is under positive selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Past five-year trend, current prevalence and household knowledge, attitude and practice of malaria in Abeshge, south-central Ethiopia
TL;DR: Although malaria remains a primary cause of outpatient admission in WHC, the retrospective data showed a significantly declining trend, which together with the very low prevalence in the current parasitological survey suggests the effectiveness of ongoing control interventions in the locality.
