Article Synopsis
- The study in French Guiana focused on identifying the malaria infectious reservoir to aid future elimination strategies, particularly in the municipality of St Georges de l'Oyapock.
- A survey, conducted from October to December 2017, used rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyze 1,501 samples, revealing a 6.6% overall prevalence of malaria, with 74% of cases being asymptomatic.
- Factors that increased the odds of malaria carriage included being over 15 years old, living in remote neighborhoods, and having a prior history of malaria, with specific high-risk clusters identified in isolated areas and the village center.
