The Prevalence of Malaria Parasites and the Dynamics of Malaria Vectors in Adenta-Barrier in Ghana

Background: Malaria burden is generally lower in urban settings. Urban malaria likely to surge due rapid and unplanned urbanization. Hence, this study sought determine the prevalence of parasite vectors Adenta-barrier, a suburb Adentan Municipality.
 Methods: The followed cross sectional design pattern. Mosquitoes were collected from 40 houses site using pyrethrum spray catches (PSC) method, screening was carried out on 90 participants. A well-structured form used record data use insecticide-treated nets, insecticide spray, mosquito coil community. mosquitoes morphologically identified.
 Results: at 1.1%, 13.4%, 7.5%, 11.9% respectively. As far as vector abundance concerned, habitat, resting feeding behavior taken into consideration. majority during Culex 95.7% (22), rest Aedes 4.3% (1). Both found states. Study participants reported (80%) bites they sustained have occurred early hours day. area also possessed several easily identifiable breeding sites for mosquitoes.
 Conclusion: low no Anopheles found. species present locality with few Aedes.
