The highest infection rate ( 57.7% ) was found in the (1-20) years age group , while the lowest infection rate( 29.0%) was found in the (21-40) years age group . The lower prevalence rate of infection( 20%) was found in individuals who used nets , while the highest prevalence was ( 80% )in than don’t used mosquito net .
