Prevalence of malaria and associated factors among under-five children in Sherkole refugee camp, Benishangul-Gumuz region, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study

Abdulmuneim Ahmed et al.

Summary: The study identified risk factors for malaria in under-five children at Sherkole refugee camp, including outdoor stay at night, stagnant water near the house, and the number of young children per household. Using insecticide treated nets and health information about malaria were found to reduce the odds of getting malaria. Recommendations include health information dissemination focusing on prevention strategies and considering household dynamics during distribution of preventative measures.

Trends in malaria prevalence and risk factors associated with the disease in Nkongho-mbeng; a typical rural setting in the equatorial rainforest of the South West Region of Cameroon

Raymond Babila Nyasa et al.

Summary: The study found a high prevalence of malaria in the Nkongho-mbeng area, with a significant proportion of asymptomatic infections. Despite a high coverage of LLINs, the malaria prevalence was unexpectedly higher among those sleeping under LLINs. Being male, unemployed, living in specific areas, and having bushes around homes were significant risk factors associated with malaria infection.
