• W3199205537 abstract "Asymptomatic Plasmodium infections significantly drive malaria transmission and impact control and elimination strategies, but are largely uncharacterized. We investigated the prevalence and risk factors of asymptomatic malaria infections to inform malaria control strategies in Ghana.Five cross-sectional surveys were conducted at the end of the peak transmission season (August-September) on 4892 school children aged between 6 and 14 years in two distinct ecological settings in Ghana between 2013 and 2017. The study sites were Begoro (forest ecology) and Cape Coast (coastal ecology). The children were screened for malaria parasites by microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained thin and thick blood films. Hemoglobin levels were measured using the Hemocue HB analyzer. In addition, height was measured and the height-for-age z-scores estimated from the reference population defined by WHO to determine children who were stunted. Proportions of categorical and means of continuous variables were compared using Chi-square test and Student's t-test respectively, and multivariable logistic regression was done to assess risk factors associated with asymptomatic infections.The overall prevalence of asymptomatic malaria in the school children was higher in Begoro compared to Cape Coast (27% (95% CI: 17, 24%) vs. 24% (95% CI: 17, 24%), p value = 0.04). The study recorded three species of Plasmodium (Plasmodia falciparum, malariae, and ovale) in both sites. Plasmodium falciparum was the predominant species, accounting for about 85% of infections in both study sites. The asymptomatic school children were more likely to be anaemic (OR = 2.01, p value< 0.001) and stunted in growth (OR = 1.46, p value< 0.001). Males carried more asymptomatic infection than females (OR = 1.18, p value = 0.015). School children aged 12-14 years had more asymptomatic infections than those aged 6-8 years (OR = 1.28, p value = 0.005).There is a considerable burden of asymptomatic malaria in the two regions of Ghana, which is associated with males, older children, anaemia, and stunted growth in children, and may have implications for malaria control and elimination strategies in Ghana." @default.
