Asymptomatic malaria reservoirs are the last challenge in the elimination in Cambodia
Evidence generated during this study point to the continued presence of an untreated asymptomatic reservoir in high-risk populations. Targeted epidemiological and/or vector-based intervention strategies tailored to specific risk groups may enable a reduction of this sustaining reservoir of parasites, thereby leading to eliminating malaria in Cambodia.
