| Abstract | ||
| A study was carried out to find out co-relation between rainfall and instances of malaria infection in different villages of Purnia district . The study clearly indicates that there occurs a high positive co-relation between rainfall and instances of malaria in the studied villages of the district. There occurs a gradual increase in instances of malaria with gradual rise in rainfalls. The study also indicates that besides rainfall, ambient temperature also plays a key role in the incidence of malaria as in certain months the incidence of malaria was not found having but rainfall. Maximum incidence of malaria was noticed during rainy season followed by summer and winter seasons. | ||
