Among the malaria-positive patients, 50.8% (31\/61) of them were positive for Plasmodium vivax, 45.90% (28\/61) were positive for Plasmodium falciparum, and 3.3% (2\/61) had mixed infections of P. falciparum and P. vivax. Logistic regression analysis revealed that individuals who possessed insecticide-treated net (Odds ratio [OR]\u2009=\u20090.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.194, 0.743]) and whose houses were sprayed with insecticides (OR\u2009=\u20090.18, 95% CI [0.097, 0.34]) were significantly less likely to have a malaria infection. Individuals living closer to stagnant water had a significantly greater chance of malaria infection than those who lived a distance from stagnant water (OR\u2009=\u20090.34, 95% CI [0.19, 0.59]).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study revealed that malaria remains a public health problem in the urban area of Batu town, which suggests that the same might be true for other urban areas in the country.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/03000605221080686","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]],"date-time":"2022-03-09T02:35:15Z","timestamp":1646793315000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Magnitude of urban malaria and its associated risk factors: the case of Batu town, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Jifar","family":"Hassen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Biology, Adama Science and Technology University, School of Applied Natural Science, Adama Science and Technology University, P.O.
