RDT positivity rate (RPR) during monthly home visits was similar in the three study arms. RPR was higher in October regardless the study arm. Unlike clinical episodes, no effect of nutrient supplementation on cross sectional asymptomatic infections was observed. Figure Cross-sectional RDT positivity rate per study arm. This figure displays the proportion of participants tested positive for malaria when deploying the RDT. For this, monthly visits data were used to estimate the proportions of infected participants to malaria when using RDT per study arm. Blue curve represents control arm while green and red curves represent Plumpy’Doz and Zinc arm, respectively
