After almost two decades of substantial reductions in the global burden of malaria, progress has stagnated.1 Global scientific and policy leaders agree that to achieve malaria eradication, interventions must focus not only on preventing malaria disease but also on decreasing malaria transmission.2 Children younger than 5 years and pregnant women are at the highest risk of severe disease and have previously been the primary targets of malaria control interventions. However, apparently healthy older children and adults also harbour transmissible malaria parasites.
