INTRODUCTION Malaria is a central focus of the World Health Organization's (WHO) global disease eradication efforts due to its significant impact on public health (World Health Organization, 2015). Anopheline (Diptera:Culicidae) mosquitoes transmit the six malaria-causing parasites that infect humans, with Plasmodium falciparum (Welch, 1897; Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae) causing the most severe symptoms (Milner, 2018).
Kambia is one of 14 districts in Sierra Leone. Located in the northwest part of the country, Kambia comprises seven rural chiefdoms. The total population is approximately 344,000. The first case of Ebola virus disease (Ebola) in Kambia occurred on September 4, 2014. Three disease surveillance officers within the District Health Management Team (DHMT) of the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS) responded to suspected Ebola case alerts.
