Ethiopia is a Sub-Saharan African country with a high annual malaria case count, owing to the majority of the country\u2019s geography favoring vector rearing. As part of the country\u2019s prevention-based health policy, substantial efforts have been made to control and prevent malaria transmission. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of malaria and the associated factors in the community of Mizan-Aman and its catchment. Materials and Methods. From September to October 2021, a community-based cross-sectional survey was undertaken among the communities of Mizan-Aman town and its catchment area in Southwest Ethiopia. A pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data, as well as a capillary blood sample from each study participant. Epi-data manager (v4.0.2.101) was used to enter the data and analyzed by SPSS version 25.0. A statistical significance was set at a <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mi>P<\/a:mi>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula> value of &lt;0.05. Result. The study comprised a total of 412 people, of which 87 (21.1%) tested positive for malaria parasites, with a greater prevalence reported among those aged 25 to 34 years (5.8%).

Conclusion. The overall malaria prevalence in this study was 87 (21.1%), demonstrating that malaria remains a significant concern to the populations in the study area, with Plasmodium falciparum accounting for the vast majority of cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/3503317","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,12]],"date-time":"2022-04-12T16:58:33Z","timestamp":1649782713000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Prevalence of Malaria and Associated Risk Factors among the Community of Mizan-Aman Town and Its Catchment Area in Southwest Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7372-7145","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tadesse","family":"Duguma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Health Science and Medicine, Mizan-Tepi University, Mizan-Aman, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulrezak","family":"Nuri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Health Science and Medicine, Mizan-Tepi University, Mizan-Aman, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yayeh","family":"Melaku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Health Science and Medicine, Mizan-Tepi University, Mizan-Aman, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","unstructured":"World Health OrganizationWorld malaria report 2020. 20 years of global progress and challenges2020World Health Organization"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.30875\/6c551ba0-en","volume-title":"World malaria report 2021","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2021"},{"key":"3","article-title":"The economic effects of malaria eradication: evidence from intervention in Uganda","volume":"70","author":"J.
