We have showed that the higher the proportion of P.falciparum cases, the greater the incidence to be expected. Though it was not statistically significant evidence, it is of public health significance. Here our concern was development of a mosaic of small transmission areas (Saul, 1996). The proportion of P.falciparum cases was considered to be an important factor in the transmission of malaria in the community partly due to their involvement as a reservoir of infection for transmission, when they were not provided with correct treatment. However, our concern was not to include immune individuals who may still be parasitemic, since such people no longer contribute to transmission (Saul, 1996).
