Northern participants mainly stayed\/worked indoors, had better infrastructure and services, had access to bed nets and presented lower infection frequencies. Among the southern, more deprived population, outdoor work predominated; they experienced structural and protection resource gaps. Half of Plasmodium-infected participants had subclinical infection and nearly half carried gametocytes. Higher Plasmodium infection frequency was related with male sex, southern residence, lacking a bed net and deficient infrastructure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
