Malaria is a well-known mosquito-borne illness and it continues to be a major public health problem at the start of new millennium. The problem is persistent in both rural and urban area. We studied the problem and certain epidemiological factors associated with malaria, pattern and seasonal trend of malaria infection in Bhiwani District Haryana. The data of peripheral blood films prepared from 1st January 2015 to 20th December 2016 were collected from the district malaria office Bhiwani. Data were analysed and observed that 446113 slides of blood smear taken from patients with symptom suggestive of malaria, out of which 355(0.07%) were found smear positive for malaria parasite. Plasmodium vivax found in 100% cases and Plasmodium falciparum found in zero percent cases. Mixed infection was also not observed. Malaria was reported in all age groups and both sexes, but the 11-20 year age group were affected more (26.42%) and 52.13% patients were 11 to 30 years. Males were more affected than females. Majority of cases reported in August and September months. The present study reported the prevalence of Plasmodium vivax more than Plasmodium falciparum in our region. Adult males were more prone to infect with malaria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
