Artemisinin-based combination therapy does not measurably reduce human infectiousness to vectors in a setting of intense malaria transmission
BACKGROUND: Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for treating malaria has activity against immature gametocytes. In theory, this property may complement the effect of terminating otherwise lengthy malaria infections and reducing the parasite reservoir in the human population that can infect v...
