Asymptomatic and submicroscopic Plasmodium vivax infection: a study previous to malaria-free certification in Argentina

Abstract

Currently, there is no active epidemiological or entomological surveillance in the area where the case was recorded. It is imperative to strengthen the surveillance system to maintain the country's malaria-free status within the national health system agenda and address the risks of silent malaria circulation and re-emergence. Furthermore, to comply with the national malaria program guidelines and WHO requirements to maintain malaria-free certification, the development and implementation of highly sensitive diagnostic tools to detect asymptomatic cases is crucial.
