Is screening for malaria necessary among asymptomatic refugees and immigrants coming from endemic countries?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Evaluation of: Matisz CE, Naidu P, Shokoples SE et al. Post-arrival screening for malaria in asymptomatic refugees using real-time PCR. Am. J. Trop. Med. Hyg. 84, 161–165 (2010).Malaria is endemic throughout most of the tropics mainly due to Plasmodium falciparum. Outside the tropics, cases have been described among mobile population groups, such as travellers, immigrants and refugees. Malaria prevalence among refugees ranges from 3% to more than 60%, many of them being asymptomatic. This article assesses the findings of a recent study performed in Canada where malaria prevalence among recently arrived asymptomatic refugees was measured. A total of 324 refugees were screened for malaria, obtaining a global prevalence of 3.1% by PCR. Identifying imported, asymptomatic cases of malaria may have an important impact both for the individual concerned and for public health.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
