TO STUDY SUB-CLINICAL P. FALCIPARUM INFECTIONS ACT AS YEAR-ROUND RESERVOIR FOR MALARIA

Abstract

Background &Method: This study is conducted with an aim to study Sub-clinical P.
falciparum infections act as year-round reservoir for malaria.
Result:Of these, 500 were selected through population random sampling, while & thus
entered into the longitudinal survey.
Conclusion:We conclude that hypoendemic sub-clinical & uncomplicated P. falciparum
malaria continues,the sub-clinical infections were associated with a number of household &
demographic factors, similar to those found for symptomatic cases. Unlike clinical
symptomatic malaria, which is highly seasonal, these actively detected infections were
present year-round, make up the vast majority of infections at any given time and likely act as
reservoirs for continued transmission
