Implication

Retrospective cohort study assesses malaria prevalence trends in Ethiopia, indicating shifts in species distribution.

Key Points

  • Approximately 68% of malaria cases were found in respondents under 15 years old, highlighting a vulnerable population.
  • The dominant malaria species was Plasmodium falciparum, with shifts observed in prevalence during specific years.
  • Despite a drop in transmission rates in 2016-2017, there has been a gradual rise in cases since then.
