Résumé :

[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST A0BR0xZc. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Blood-stage level Plasmodium falciparum infection (parasitemia density) is generally elevated prior to, or at the time of, clinical presentation of severe pediatric malaria episodes. Intensity of exposure to infective Anopheles mosquito bites is a suspected determinant of higher density parasitemia. Analyses of entomologic and parasitologic data collected in 1986-1987 were conducted to investigate whether the dose of infective bites predicted the incidence or degree of P. falciparum parasitemia in Kenyan children
