Abstract：
:Malaria transmission varies from village to village and even from family to family in the same village. The current study was conducted in northern Ethiopia to identify risk factors responsible for such variations in a hypoendemic highland malaria setting: 2114 children aged < 10 years living in 6 villages situated close to small dams at altitudes from 1775 to 2175 m were monitored. Monthly malaria incidence was determined 4 times over a 1-year period during 1997. Incidence results were then analysed by 14 individual and household factors using Poisson multivariate regression. Among 14 factors analysed, use of irrigated land (rate ratio[RR] = 2.68, 95% CI 1.64-4.38), earth roof (RR = 2.15, 95% CI 1.31-3.52), animals sleeping in the house (RR = 1.92, 95% CI 1.29-2.85), windows (RR = 1.84, 95% CI 1.30-2.63), open eaves (RR = 1.85, 95% CI 1.19-2.88), no separate kitchen (RR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.10-2.23), and 1 sleeping room (RR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.05-2.20), were significantly associated with malaria. The proportion of infection among children exposed to one or no risk factor was 2.1%, increasing with the number of risk factors and reaching 29.4% with 5 or more. Further studies are needed to confirm the importance of particular risk factors, possibly leading to simple health education and control measures that could become part of routine control programmes, implemented with inter-sectoral collaboration.
