<i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> infections and number needed to screen among refugees arriving from Sub-Saharan Africa
Modelled estimates of P. falciparum rates in newly arrived refugees correspond to previously reported screening parasite prevalence in SSA migrant populations. A low number of migrants need to be screened to detect one case in populations arriving from high-moderate transmission areas. These estimates can guide screening strategies and could reduce the burden of malaria in migrants from SSA.
