Spatial Distribution, seasonal dynamics and molecular confirmation of malaria in District Malakand, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
Key Points
This study aims to understand the distribution and seasonal patterns of malaria in Malakand and confirm the findings through molecular methods.
Analyze malaria cases across different villages in Malakand
Examine seasonal peaks of malaria incidence
Use microscopy for diagnosis and molecular methods for confirmation
Malaria cases peaked in autumn, particularly in males and individuals under 20 years old.
Neighbouring areas are at risk due to proximity to hyper-endemic zones.
Microscopy has proven to be a reliable diagnostic method for malaria.
Abstract
Malaria in Malakand peaks in autumn, affecting males and individuals aged <20 y most. Neighbouring villages are at risk from hyper-endemic areas. Microscopy remains a dependable diagnostic tool here.
