4. Discussion
Malaria is one of the major public health problem in the UT of Dadra & Nagar Haveli from long time.
High vector density, the poor socio-economic condition, lack of awareness in community about malaria and presence of parasite load in the community make the population more vulnerable for contacting malaria, as locals are not in the habit of using mosquito nets or any other personal protection measures.
Repeated infections due to frequent man-mosquito contact and non-clearance of parasites from the blood because of underdosage of antimalaria drugs may develop immunity and asymptomatic carriers in the community [12].
The study from India, district Korea of Chhattisgarh, during 2009 reported malaria outbreak with SPR 22.2% and showed the average PMHD of An. Culicifacies is 5.5 [7]
