Introduction

In Nigeria, malaria is a significant public health issue that occasionally receives little attention from the general people. Around 3.3 billion people worldwide are affected by malaria, with most fatalities occurring in sub-Saharan African nations. Affected regions include Europe, sections of the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and, to a lesser extent, Africa (WHO, 2013; WHO, 2014). In sub-Saharan Africa, malaria is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in children and pregnant women. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) approach for malaria control is centered on providing quick access to diagnosis and treatment with potent anti-malarial medications (Okwundu et al., 2013; WHO, 2013).

Malaria disease is a major health problem in much of the tropics and subtropics. In some areas of the world, mosquitoes that carry malaria have developed resistance to insecticides. In addition, the parasites have developed resistance to some antibiotics. These conditions have led to difficulty in controlling both the rate of infection and spread of this disease (Fairhurst and Wellems, 2009; NCBI, 2014).
