MALARIA PERCEPTION AND PRACTICES AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN IN BAL'AD DISTRICT-SO MALIA
Abstract Malaria is a protozoan caused parasitic infection of the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium Ovale, and Plasmodium malaria cause human malaria. It is naturally spread to humans through a bite by an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Among the four parasite species, plasmodium falciparum is the most prevalent malaria parasite in the World Health Organization (WHO) African Region, accounting for 99.7% of estimated malaria cases in 2017 (WHO, 2011).
