Malaria care-seeking behaviours and infection prevalence among short-term Myanmar migrants in Thailand
Despite generally positive attitudes toward malaria, self-reported timely care-seeking among short-term Myanmar migrants remained limited. Socioeconomic status, migration patterns, ethnicity, and malaria knowledge significantly influenced care-seeking behaviours. The detection of asymptomatic P. vivax underscores the need for migrant-focused surveillance and targeted health education to support malaria elimination efforts.
