Using stratified sampling, three mining communities and one nonmining community were selected.

Overall, asymptomatic\n                    <jats:italic>P. falciparum<\/jats:italic>\n                    prevalence was 53.1%, significantly higher in mining communities (64.6%) than in the mining\u2010free community (27.7%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001).

In the mining\u2010free community, transmission was associated with being a child (AOR = 7.0,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.024), schooling (AOR = 3.48,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.014), using open\u2010market nets (AOR = 5.67,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.037), net sharing (AOR = 4.7,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.028), and poor housing quality (AOR = 4.7,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.003). The high odds ratios observed for factors such as prolonged outdoor night\u2010time exposure, net sharing, use of substandard nets, and poor housing highlight concentrated risks for\n                    <jats:italic>P. falciparum<\/jats:italic>\n                    transmission.
