  abstract = {{B}ackground: {M}alariometric information is needed to decide how to introduce malaria vaccines and evaluate their impact in sub-{S}aharan {A}frican countries. {M}ethods: {T}his cross-sectional study ({NCT}01954264) was conducted between {O}ctober and {N}ovember, 2013, corresponding to the high malaria transmission season, in four sites with {H}ealth and {D}emographic {S}urveillance {S}ystems ({DSS}) [two sites with moderate-to-high malaria endemicity in {B}urkina {F}aso ({N}ouna and {S}apone) and two sites with low malaria endemicity in {S}enegal ({K}eur {S}oce and {N}iakhar)]. {C}hildren ({N} = 2421) were randomly selected from the {DSS} lists of the study sites and were stratified into two age groups (6 months-4 years and 5-9 years). {A} blood sample was collected from each child to evaluate parasite prevalence of {P}lasmodium falciparum and other {P}lasmodium species and gametocyte density by microscopy, and rapid diagnosis test in the event of fever within 24 h. {C}ase report forms were used to evaluate malaria control measures and other factors. {R}esults: {P}lasmodium falciparum was identified in 707 (29.2%) children, with a higher prevalence in {B}urkina {F}aso than {S}enegal (57.5 vs 0.9% of children). {I}n {B}urkina {F}aso, prevalence was 57.7% in {N}ouna and 41.9% in {S}apone in the 6 months-4 years age group, and 75.4% in {N}ouna and 70.1% in {S}apone in the 5-9 years age group. {I}nfections with other {P}lasmodium species were rare and only detected in {B}urkina {F}aso. {W}hile mosquito nets were used by 88.6-97.0 and 64.7-80.2% of children in {B}urkina {F}aso and {S}enegal, other malaria control measures evaluated at individual level were uncommon. {I}n {B}urkina {F}aso, exploratory analyses suggested that use of malaria treatment or any other medication within 14 days, and use of insecticide spray within 7 days decreased the prevalence of malaria infection; older age, rural residence, natural floor, grass/palm roof, and unavailability of electricity in the house were factors associated with increased malaria occurrence. {C}onclusions: {P}lasmodium falciparum infection prevalence in children younger than 10 years was 57.5% in {B}urkina {F}aso and 0.9% in {S}enegal, and variability was observed, among others, by age, study site and malaria control measures.},
