Nigeria suffers the world's largest malaria burden, with approximately 51 million cases and 207,000 deaths annually. As part of country's aim to reduce by 50% malaria-related morbidity mortality 2013, it embarked on mass distribution free long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). Prior net campaigns in Abia Plateau States, Nigeria, a modified indicator survey was conducted September 2010 determine baseline state-level estimates Plasmodium prevalence, childhood anemia, indoor residual spraying...
Background: Malaria is a major cause of fever in endemic countries, although the prevalence malaria has been declining across Sub-Saharan Africa, proportion clinical presentation attributable to febrile illness due illnesses have remained high. It therefore important determine cases malaria.
