<p>Cases and controls were comparable in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge of malaria transmission. Risk factors associated with malaria transmission were doing outdoor activities at dawn and dusk (AOR= 3.3; CI. 1.51-7.29) and staying in a house with open eaves (AOR=2.7; CI.1.29-5.88). Sleeping under the insecticidal treated net (O. R=0.38, CI. = 0.16-0.19) was a significant protective factor for contracting malaria. The analysis of larval sampling indicated that 7(39%) of the active breeding sites had Anopheles larvae only. Entomological investigations identified the majority of Anopheles mosquito species 22(96%) belonged to the funestus group.</p>
