Detecting Malaria Hotspots: A Comparison of Rapid Diagnostic Test, Microscopy, and Polymerase Chain Reaction
BACKGROUND: Malaria control strategies need to respond to geographical hotspots of transmission. Detection of hotspots depends on the sensitivity of the diagnostic tool used. METHODS: We conducted cross-sectional surveys in 3 sites within Kilifi County, Kenya, that had variable transmission intensit...
