Abstract

Asymptomatic carriers of Plasmodium falciparum are considered to be the parasite’s reservoir in humans. They may therefore be at the origin of the expansion of chemoresistant plasmodial strains. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of P. falciparum gametocyte carriage in asymptomatic children in Côte d’Ivoire. This cross-sectional study was carried out from May 2015 to April 2016 in 3 rural and urban schools in Grand-Bassam, Abengourou and San Pedro during the rainy and dry seasons. In each school, 11 pupils/class were drawn at random.
