Show abstract
Most malaria morbidity in Kenya is due to Plasmodium falciparum with no cases attributed to P.vivax. Little is known about the epidemiology in northern Kenya along the border with Ethiopia and Sudan. We found that 2% of household members of P.falciparum cases were infected with P.vivax, affecting all ages in urban and rural sites.
