Malaria risk in young male travellers but local transmission persists: a case–control study in low transmission Namibia
BACKGROUND: A key component of malaria elimination campaigns is the identification and targeting of high risk populations. To characterize high risk populations in north central Namibia, a prospective health facility-based case–control study was conducted from December 2012–July 2014. Cases (n = 107...
