Malaria is a serious public health problem of most developing countries, including Ethiopia. The burden of malaria is severely affecting the economy and lives of people, particularly among the productive ages of rural society. Thus, this study was targeted to analyze the past five-year retrospective malaria data among the rural setting of Maygaba town, Welkait district, northwest Ethiopia. Methods. The study was done on 36,219 outpatients attending for malaria diagnosis during January 2015 to 2019. Data was extracted from the outpatient medical database.

Results. Of 36,219 outpatients examined, 7,309 (20.2%) malaria-positive cases were reported during 2015-2019. There was a fluctuating trend in the number of malaria-suspected and -confirmed cases in each year.

Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax were the dominant parasites detected, which accounted for 66.1%;\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <k:math xmlns:k=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M6\">\n                        <k:mi>N<\/k:mi>\n                        <k:mo>=<\/k:mo>\n                        <k:mn>4832<\/k:mn>\n                      <\/k:math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    , 33.9%;\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <m:math xmlns:m=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M7\">\n                        <m:mi>N<\/m:mi>\n                        <m:mo>=<\/m:mo>\n                        <m:mn>2477<\/m:mn>\n                      <\/m:math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    , respectively. Despite the seasonal abundance of malaria cases, the highest prevalence was recorded in autumn (September to November) in the study area. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that statistically significant associations were observed between sexes, interseasons, mean seasonal rainfall, and mean seasonal temperature with the prevalence of P. vivax. However, P. falciparum has shown a significant association with interseasons and mean seasonal temperature. Conclusions. Although the overall prevalence of malaria was continually declined from 2015-2019, malaria remains the major public health problem in the study area. The severe species of P. falciparum was found to be the dominant parasite reported in the study area. A collaborative action between the national malaria control program and its partners towards the transmission, prevention, and control of the two deadly species is highly recommended.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/6727843","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,11]],"date-time":"2021-09-11T11:05:07Z","timestamp":1631358307000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Seasonal Profile and Five-Year Trend Analysis of Malaria Prevalence in Maygaba Health Center, Welkait District, Northwest Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9741-0062","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fitsum","family":"Tigu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbial, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Division of Microbiology, College of Natural Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsegay","family":"Gebremaryam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoological Sciences, College of Natural Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9402-5310","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Asnake","family":"Desalegn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbial, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Division of Microbiology, College of Natural Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","article-title":"Malaria: The King of Tropical Diseases","author":"A.
