“…We track changes in this parasite population size and structure through sequential malaria interventions by indoor residual spraying (IRS) and seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) from 2012 to 2017 in an area of high-seasonal malaria transmission in northern Ghana. Following IRS, which reduced transmission intensity by > 90% and decreased parasite prevalence by ~40–50%, significant reductions in [Formula: see text] diversity, [Formula: see text] , and population size were observed in ~2,000 humans across all ages. …”
