Malaria test positivity, Plasmodium species distribution, and risk factors in Ho Municipality, Ghana: a retrospective analysis of seasonal and demographic trends (2020–2022)

Abstract

This study identifies persistent, significant disparities in malaria burden linked to specific age groups, sex, and health facilities in Ho Municipality. These findings underline the urgent need for a targeted intervention strategy, including school-based chemoprevention programs, enhanced diagnostic support and staffing for high-burden facilities, and pre-emptive vector control ahead of peak rainfall seasons to accelerate progress towards malaria elimination.
