Deskripsi

Nigeria has a high burden of malaria which mostly results from Plasmodium falciparum infection, but other species are also endemic. Here, the authors estimate the prevalence of active infection and previous exposure to P malariae, P ovale, and P vivax in children in Nigeria in 2018 and determine risk factors.
