Patterns of patent and sub-patent Plasmodium falciparum infections in household members of children under seasonal malaria chemoprevention coverage in the health district of Nanoro, Burkina Faso
Over two-thirds of the household members living with children under SMC coverage area in Nanoro, Burkina Faso, harboured patent and sub-patent P. falciparum infection. Among those aged 15 years and older, asymptomatic carriage was largely sub-patent. This study supports the extension of the SMC intervention to school-aged children and the implementation of interventions such as testing and treatment of household members of children under SMC coverage.
