Assessment of Plasmodium vivax transmission and asymptomatic carriage risk among artisanal gold miners in western French Guiana, 2014–2020
Our analysis shows an epidemiological evolution typical of a scenario of decreasing malaria circulation. Nevertheless, in 2020, gold miners in western FG still showed a moderate level of P. vivax circulation. Biological methods and epidemiological criteria can help to select potential parasite carriers, who could benefit from targeted drug administration.
