Risk of being Plasmodium falciparum Infected (PCR Positive) by Proximity to an Identified RDT-Positive Individual or by Serostatus

Residence or Serostatus PCR Positive (95% CI), % OR (95% CI)a
Proximity of residence to RDT-positive individual
 Same household 11.5 (4.2–25.5) 7.4 (2.8–19.9)
 <100-m radius 2.2 (0.7–5.8) 1.2 (0.4–3.3)
 100–300 m 3.4 (2.1–5.4) 1.8 (1.0–3.2)
 300–1000 m 1.9 (1.4–2.6) 1.0 (0.7–1.6)
 >1000 m 1.9 (1.4–2.5) 1.0 (baseline)
Serostatus
 Seropositiveb 5.0 (3.9–6.5) 3.5 (2.2–5.5)
 Seronegative in seropositive household 1.3 (0.8–2.0) 0.9 (0.5–1.6)
 Living in seronegative household 1.5 (1.0–2.2) 1.0 (baseline)

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; RDT, rapid diagnostic test.

aUnivariate logistic regression for likelihood of being PCR positive.

bSeropositive to AMA-1 and/or MSP-119.
