Estimation of heterogeneity in malaria transmission by stochastic modelling of apparent deviations from mass action kinetics (Publications)
mass action kinetics in parasite transmission can arise from spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the inoculation rate, and from imprecision in its measurement. For parasites like P. falciparum, where

ted area. Health authorities should consider the potential health risks of long-term surviving parasites persisting on flooded grounds and in open waters even several weeks after the flooding and of bathing [...] bathing places close to sewage spill-overs. Preventive measures comprise water sampling (involving parasites), information of the public and prolonged closures of potentially contaminated sites.

pecies using qPCR. RESULTS: All qPCR-diagnosed cases were asymptomatic, indicating an untreated parasite reservoir. In Mondulkiri, the prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum was 0.63% at T0, increasing to [...] strategies tailored to specific risk groups may enable a reduction of this sustaining reservoir of parasites, thereby leading to eliminating malaria in Cambodia.
