Malaria parasite burden and heterogeneity of risk factors among Central African Republic refugees: a cross-sectional study in the Gado-Badzere refugee camp in Eastern Cameroon
The malaria burden in CAR refugees may represent the reservoir for malaria transmission, especially with the circulation of <i>P. vivax</i>. The improper use of ITNs could be ameliorated through sensitization. Seasonal chemoprevention mainly during the rainy season and Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) might be implemented for effective malaria control in refugee settings.
