Prevalence of asymptomatic malaria and associated factors among pregnant women in Mogadishu, Somalia: a cross-sectional study
This study found a low prevalence of asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection in pregnant women. While no factors were significantly associated with asymptomatic Plasmodium infection, the findings suggest that younger age, urban residence, and ITN utilization may have protective effects. Further research with larger samples is needed to confirm these observations.
