[Display omitted] • Blood transcriptome analysis of uninfected, asymptomatic, and symptomatic malaria. • Strong transcriptional response to symptomatic P. falciparum infection. • No detectable host transcriptional response to asymptomatic infection. • Asymptomatic P. falciparum infection evades triggering a detectable host transcriptomic response.
