ABSTRACT

Malaria is one of the life-threatening diseases and it was known from the ancient time. Malaria was known to be a world-wide problem, but now it occurs in some specific areas especially in the tropical areas. Sonitpur district of Assam is associated with this fatal disease from time to time. The environmental factors of Sonitpur district are highly responsible for the occurrence of this particular disease. All the health blocks of the district are more or less affected by Malaria. Some regions are more vulnerable to this dangerous disease. Within the district, the frequency of Malaria is found to be variable, spatially as well as temporally. This paper aims to analyze the frequency of Malaria within the district from one region to another. The paper also aims to identify some high risk zones of Malaria in the district. This paper would be helpful to medical personnel and planners for preparing a suitable plan or policy to combat ever-increasing Malaria in the district. Keywords: Malaria, Spatio-Temporal Pattern, High Risk Zones, Sonitpur
