Abstract
The study will investigate prevention and control of malaria in Buguma Asari-toru local government. The following research objectives will be used for the success of the study: To ascertain the level of knowledge about malaria, its prevention, and control in Buguma Asari-Toru Local Government, to determine the relationship between knowledge acquisition (estimated via level of educational qualification) and malaria disease in Buguma Asari-Toru Local Government and to determine where treatment is received by individuals affected by malaria disease in Buguma Asari-Toru Local Government. The collected data will be cleaned, coded and entered into Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 for windows software for analysis. A descriptive presentation of the data will be given, and a logistic regression analysis will be done using the incidence of malaria disease in the last four weeks as the outcome or dependent variable, and the levels of educational qualification (indicating knowledge acquisition) as the independent or exposure variables The variables age and sex were also included as covariates.
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).
