摘要: Background Subpatent malaria infections, or low-density infections below the detection threshold of microscopy standard rapid diagnostic testing (RDT), can perpetuate persistent transmission and, therefore, may be a barrier for countries like Namibia that are pursuing elimination. This potential burden in has not been well characterized.
