    <abstract language="eng">This study aims to provide baseline data of the indices of malaria prevalence in the study population as well as other malariometric indices namely use of mosquito nets, subjective observation of mosquito bite nodules, parasite density. The objectives include an assessment of frequency of use of mosquito-net among students of Delta State University, Abraka using the study sample. Frequency of observation of mosquito bite nodules among the volunteers, frequency of useof anti-malarial medication in the last three months and malaria parasite density associated with level of use of mosquito nets. This study will help assess the impact of efforts to roll back malaria in the study population.</abstract>
