Abstract EN
In this study, we show that 40.29% of travellers with a possible history of malaria exposure were positive for anti-Plasmodium spp.
antibodies, while these individuals were negative by microscopy.
The antibody test described here is useful to elucidate malaria exposure in microscopy-negative travellers from endemic countries.
