Malaria cases have continued to increase in Nigeria, although the rate of increase appeared to slow during 2018–2022. Vector control through the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) contributed substantially to the reduction of malaria in endemic African countries. In Ondo state, climate was an important determinant of use, while in Anambra, socioeconomic status and gender were important factors. Variations in the use of available nets during surveys conducted at different times of the year indicated seasonal effects, which need to be investigated.
This oral presentation was given at the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM) Society's 8th Pan-African Malaria Conference.
