  abstract = {{T}o implement future malaria elimination strategies in {F}rench {G}uiana, a characterization of the infectious reservoir is recommended. {A} cross-sectional survey was conducted between {O}ctober and {D}ecember 2017 in the {F}rench {G}uianese municipality of {S}t {G}eorges de l'{O}yapock, located along the {B}razilian border. {T}he prevalence of {P}lasmodium spp. was determined using a rapid diagnostic test ({RDT}) and a polymerase chain reaction ({PCR}). {D}emographic, house locations, medical history, and biological data were analyzed. {F}actors associated with {P}lasmodium spp. carriage were analyzed using logistic regression, and the carriage localization was investigated through spatial cluster analysis. {O}f the 1,501 samples analyzed with {PCR}, positive results totaled 90 and 10 for {P}lasmodium vivax and {P}lasmodium falciparum, respectively. {T}he general {PCR} prevalence was 6.6% [5.3-7.9], among which 74% were asymptomatic. {O}nly 13/1,549 were positive by {RDT}. {I}n multivariate analysis, participants older than 15 years, living in a remote neighborhood, with a prior history of malaria, anemia, and thrombocytopenia were associated with an increased odds of {P}lasmodium spp. carriage. {H}igh-risk clusters of {P}. vivax carriage were detected in the most remote neighborhoods on the village outskirts and two small foci in the village center. {W}e also detected a hot spot for both {P}. vivax and {P}. falciparum symptomatic carriers in the northwestern part of the village. {T}he present study confirms a wide-scale presence of asymptomatic {P}. falciparum and {P}. vivax carriers in this area. {A}lthough they were more often located in remote areas, their geographic distribution was spatially heterogeneous and complex.},
