Data collected has also been in the Global Malaria mapping project. • The highest prevalence was recorded in pastoral (20.8%) and the lowest in riverine zones (4%). • The overall reported use of nets in the night prior to the survey was 14.4%, though it was higher in the riverine zone (21.4%). • Overall infection prevalence was lower in net users (8.1%) compared to non-net users 16.6% - however some nets are in poor condition and require replacement (See photo) • Additional studies planned for 2008
