Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte burden in a Tanzanian heterogeneous transmission setting
The observed gametocyte densities and distribution across age groups suggest the need for malaria transmission-blocking interventions to target all populations in heterogeneous transmission settings. The implication of targeting only children may leave residual malaria transmission and reinfection from the left-out groups.
