title: [Methods of detecting asymptomatic plasmodium parasites carriers].
abstract: More attention has increasingly been given to asymptomatic carriers of plasmodium parasites as a source of infection in malaria elimination settings. However, asymptomatic infections can hardly be detected by microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) because of no symptoms and low parasitemia. This review summarizes the evolution of methods or tests which are currently used in the field.
