Summary
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum remains at sub-patent level throughout the dry
season in areas of seasonal malaria transmission. Targeting this parasite reservoir before
the transmission season could be a good strategy for malaria control. We are conducting a
randomized double blind placebo controlled mass drug administration trial in eight village to
clear the dry season low level parasitaemia with an ultimate aim of controlling malaria in
eastern Sudan.
