cross-sectional survey carried out in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, 35 Plasmodium
infections were detected in 451 participants screened during the non-transmission season;
27 (77.1%) were asymptomatic. Participants with age 6–14 years were at high risk of
asymptomatic infection [OR 4.09, 95% CI, 1.69 to 9.89, P= 0.001], and may act as an under-
appreciated reservoir for sustained malaria transmission.
