Malaria contributes to high childhood morbidity and mortality in Nigeria.
To determine its endemicity in a rural farming community in the south-south of Nigeria, the following malariometric indices, namely, malaria parasitaemia, spleen rates, and anaemia were evaluated in children aged 2–10 years.
This was a descriptive cross-sectional survey among school-age children residing in a rubber plantation settlement.
The children were selected from six primary schools using a multistaged stratified cluster sampling technique.
They were all examined for pallor, enlarged spleen, or liver among other clinical parameters and had blood films for malaria parasites.
Of the 461 children recruited, 329 (71.4%) had malaria parasites.
The prevalence of malaria parasitaemia was slightly higher in the under fives than that of those ≥5 years, 76.2% and 70.3%, respectively.
Splenic enlargement was present in 133 children (28.9%).
The overall prevalence of anaemia was 35.7%.
Anaemia was more common in the under-fives (48.8%) than in those ≥5 years (32.8%).
The odds of anaemia in the under fives were significantly higher than the odds of those ≥5 years (OR=1.95 [1.19–3.18]).
Malaria is highly endemic in this farming community and calls for intensification of control interventions in the area with special attention to school-age children.
