Continuous monitoring and evaluation of current malaria transmission status in different seasons is a mainstay for the success of ongoing intervention strategies for malaria. The purpose of this study was to assess the dry-season transmission and determinants of malaria in Jawi district, northwest Ethiopia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 13 to February 11, 2020; among selected Kebeles in the Jawi district. A multistage sampling technique was used in this study. Random and systematic sampling techniques were carried out to select<jats:italic>Kebeles<\/jats:italic>and each household, respectively. Light microscopy and CareStart\u2122 Malaria HRP2\/pLDH (Pf\/Pv) Combo RDT were implemented to determine the prevalence of malaria.

Interrupted utilization of ITNs, using over 3\u00a0years older ITNs, living in a house with holes on the wall, living in a house with an eave, and travel history were identified as the risk factors of malaria. Therefore, the District health office and Health extension workers should promote daily utilization of good ITNs and improve housing conditions to reduce malaria prevalence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12936-022-04068-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,14]],"date-time":"2022-02-14T12:03:03Z","timestamp":1644840183000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Dry-season transmission and determinants of Plasmodium infections in Jawi district, northwest Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Andualem","family":"Amare","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3861-6954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tegegne","family":"Eshetu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wossenseged","family":"Lemma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"4068_CR1","volume-title":"The potential impact of health service disruptions on the burden of malaria: a modeling analysis for countries in sub-Saharan Africa","author":"WHO","year":"2020","unstructured":"WHO.
