Optimizing Plasmodium vivax serological surveillance within a coendemic epidemiological landscape

Serological surveillance is a useful tool for revealing hotspots of transmission intensity or cryptic asymptomatic reservoirs, especially as malaria transmission declines. Such approaches can help us to understand malaria epidemiology, but also to guide interventions. Recently, Longley et al. refined a panel for Plasmodium vivax serological surveillance to aid in malaria elimination.
