Article Synopsis
- - Reactive case detection (RCD) in Zambia aims to improve malaria control by testing and treating individuals living near confirmed cases, but a small screening radius (140m) may not be effective in low-endemic areas, prompting a study to assess whether expanding the radius to 250m could enhance detection.
- - From 2015 to 2017, the study enrolled 4,170 individuals from 158 index and 531 secondary households, using rapid diagnostic tests and quantitative PCR to measure malaria prevalence and analyze environmental risk factors using satellite imagery.
- - Results showed low parasite prevalence (0.7% by RDT and 1.8% by qPCR) in secondary households, with 8.5% of
