Profiling vivax malaria incidence, residual transmission, and risk factors using reactive case detection in low transmission settings of Ethiopia
This study found clustering of asymptomatic and sub-microscopic P. vivax infections in the index case household and their neighbours using RCD and molecular methods. Children under 5 years and of school age were more likely to have P. vivax infection in index households. Thus, tailored RCD approaches and targeted interventions for interrupting residual P. vivax transmission networks are needed to eliminate P. vivax malaria in low transmission settings.
