Despite high prevalence of visceral leishmaniasis and malaria in the study area, their coinfection remains unknown. Therefore, this study was aimed to document VL-malaria coinfections and their associated factors.<jats:italic> Methods<\/jats:italic>. A cross-sectional study was conducted among clinical suspected VL patients attending Metema hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, from January 2014 to June 2014. Blood sample was tested by rk39 antigen-based DiaMed IT-Leish dipstick and Giemsa stain microscopic examination of thick and thin blood smears for malaria detection was performed.<jats:italic> Result<\/jats:italic>. A total of 384 VL suspected patients were included in the study. Out of these, the prevalence of VL was 83 (21.6%) while the prevalence of malaria was 45 (11.7%). Of malaria cases, 40 (89%) were positive for<jats:italic> P. falciparum<\/jats:italic> and 5 (11%) positive for<jats:italic> P. vivax<\/jats:italic>. The overall prevalence of VL-malaria coinfection was 16 (4.2%). One-hundred eighty (46.9%) study participants have history of travel. Of these, 10 (5.6%) have VL-malaria coinfections. Age less than 5 years was associated with VL-malaria coinfection.<jats:italic> Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. This study highlights the importance of performing malaria screening amongst VL patients living in malaria-endemic areas, particularly in patients under five years.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/6816913","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,28]],"date-time":"2017-08-28T21:01:43Z","timestamp":1503954103000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Visceral Leishmaniasis-Malaria Coinfection and Their Associated Factors in Patients Attending Metema Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: Suggestion for Integrated Vector Management"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9748-7326","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Getachew","family":"Ferede","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, Department of Medical Parasitology, University of Gondar, P.O.
