Uneven <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> Transmission and Cryptic <i>ovale</i> Transmission From the Asymptomatic Reservoir in Bagamoyo, Tanzania
Parasites circulating at the limit of PCR detection commonly infect mosquitoes. However, a small proportion of highly infectious carriers contribute disproportionately to transmission, offering potential for targeted interventions. Plasmodium ovale was frequently co-transmitted with P. falciparum to mosquitoes.
