ABSTRACT
Egypt represents the only focus in the Mediterranean region where Plasmodium falciparum transmission still occurs. A total number of 9065 individuals of different ages of both sexes were examined. 7236 [79.82%] individuals examined during [MBE] i.e. house-to-house visit; 1184 [13.06%] individuals examined by [PCD] i.e passive case detection; and 645 [7.12%] individuals represented [NOD]. The total number of positive cases was 52. Out of them, two only were P.vivax. But, the rest were P. falciparum, 32 cases [61.54%] were detected by MBE, 12 cases [23.08%] by PCD and 8 cases [15.38%] by NOD. The mean age of the total positive cases was 20.54 +/- 14.93 years. It was found that malaria infection didn't affected by sex. The parasite rate [PR] among was 0.57%, parasite formula was 96.15% for P. falciparum and 3.85% for P. vivax, species infection rate [SIR] was 0.55% for P. falciparum and 0.02% for P. vivax. Gametocytaemia was 74% of the total positive malaria cases. High parasite density [PD] was encountered among the younger age groups less than.five years
