Genotyping cognate Plasmodium falciparum in humans and mosquitoes to estimate onward transmission of asymptomatic infections

Asymptomatic malaria infections contribute to transmission. Here, Sumner et al. infer participant-to-mosquito transmission by sampling naturally-fed mosquitoes from households in Western Kenya and find that asymptomatic infections more than double the odds of transmission to a mosquito compared to s...
