Some Determinant Factors of Malaria Prevalence in Nigeria
Malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality especially in the Sub-Sahara Africa, where significant deaths occur annually. Malaria is majorly caused by a protozoan of the genus Plasmodium which is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquito, an iniquitous dipteran fly. Malaria is endemic in Nigeria as such over 95% are at risk. The prevalence of malaria is depended on certain factors including medical conditions, environment/season and human status viz: pregnancy, blood group, Rhesus factor, age, gender and educational status. As such the predisposing factor of high prevalence of malaria within a location/locality needed to be ascertained in order to effectively manage the infection.
