Metagenomic complexity of high, seasonal transmission of Plasmodium spp. in asymptomatic carriers in Northern Sahelian Ghana
Our metagenomic investigation underscores the need to more sensitively measure within-host Plasmodium spp. complexity in asymptomatic carriers of infection. This will optimise strategies for malaria surveillance and control.
