Geographical factors and the mobility of human populations have shown to be associated with the diversity of <jats:italic>Plasmodium<\/jats:italic> species. The study aims to describe the malaria prevalence among nomadic children and to investigate its associated factors.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted in February and October 2021 among nomadic communities in Chad. Blood sample were collected and tested from 187 Arab, Fulani and Dazagada nomadic children aged 3\u201359 months using malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT). A structured electronic questionnaire was administered to their parents to collect information about the socio\u2011economic data. Malaria testing results were categorized according to the SD BIOLINE Malaria Ag Pf\/Pan RDT procedures. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine key risk factors explaining the prevalence of malaria. STATA version IC 13 was used for statistical analysis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The overall malaria prevalence in nomadic children was 24.60%, with 65.20% being <jats:italic>Plasmodium falciparum<\/jats:italic> species and 34.8% mixed species. Boys were twice as likely (COR\u2009=\u20091.83; 95% CI, 0.92\u20133.62; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.083) to have malaria than girls. Children whose parents used to seek traditional drugs were five times more likely (AOR\u2009=\u20095.59; 95% CI, 1.40\u201322.30, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.015) to have malaria than children whose parents used to seek health facilities. Children whose parents reported spending the last night under a mosquito net were one-fifth as likely (AOR\u2009=\u20090.17; 95% CI, 0.03\u20130.90, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.037) to have malaria compared to children whose parents did not used a mosquito net. Furthermore, Daza children were seventeen times (1\/0.06) less likely (AOR\u2009=\u20090.06; 95% CI, 0.01\u20130.70, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.024) to have malaria than Fulani children and children from households piped water as the main source were seven times more likely (AOR\u2009=\u20097.05; 95% CI, 1.69\u201329.45; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007) to have malaria than those using surface water.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Malaria remains a significant public health issue in the nomadic communities of Chad. Community education and sensitization programs within nomad communities are recommended to raise awareness about malaria transmission and control methods, particularly among those living in remote rural areas. The National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) should increase both the coverage and use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in addition to promoting treatment-seeking behaviors in nomadic communities.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-024-18454-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,28]],"date-time":"2024-03-28T18:03:48Z","timestamp":1711649028000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Malaria infection and predictor factors among Chadian nomads\u2019 children"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Azoukaln\u00e9","family":"Mouk\u00e9net","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kebfene","family":"Moudin\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ngarkodje","family":"Ngarasta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clement Kerah","family":"Hinzoumbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ibrahima","family":"Seck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"18454_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"210","DOI":"10.1186\/s13071-019-3465-0","volume":"12","author":"NO Akpodiete","year":"2019","unstructured":"Akpodiete NO, Diabate A, Tripet F.
