| Abstract |
Although asymptomatic carriage of human malaria species has been widely reported, the extent of asymptomatic, submicroscopic parasitemia for Plasmodium knowlesi is unknown. This study sampled individuals residing in households or villages of symptomatic malaria cases with the aim of detecting submicroscopic P. knowlesi in this population. Four published molecular assays were used to confirm the presence of P. knowlesi. Using latent class analysis the estimated proportion of asymptomatic individuals was 6.9% (5.6 -8.4%). This study confirms the presence of a substantial number of asymptomatic mono-infections across all age groups; further work is needed to estimate prevalence in the wider community. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 July 2016.
All research outputs
#20,688,303
of 25,411,814 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Infectious Diseases
#13,635
of 14,806 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#211,708
of 288,983 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Infectious Diseases
#62
of 82 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,411,814 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,806 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.4. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 288,983 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 82 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
