Distribution of falciparum and non-falciparum malaria among symptomatic malaria patients in Dschang, West Region of Cameroon
While falciparum remains the dominant malaria parasite species among acute febrile illness cases, non-falciparum malaria is also commonly found in Dschang, both as a co-infection with P. falciparum and as mono-infections. Both subspecies of P. ovale are present in the region. Continued monitoring of non-falciparum species is needed for understanding malaria burden in West Cameroon.
