Abstract
A study was carried out to determine the prevalence of malaria infection in pregnant women that attended antenatal clinic of General Hospital, Aliero between May-August, 2011. Demographic data on age, social status, trimester stage, gravidity and preferred treatment method was collected from 100 pregnant women using a structured questionnaire. Blood samples were also collected and examined for malaria parasite using thick and thin smears. Overall prevalence of malaria parasite was found to be 71 %. P. falciparum was identified as the only causative organism of infection. There was significant difference (P<0.05) in prevalence of infection among different age groups and students were also significantly more infected than women in other social status. Most of the women preferred the use of traditional herbs in treatment and prevention of the infection. The need for intensive education of pregnant women on the increased rate of infection during pregnancy complimented by vector control and effective case management is suggested.

Key words: Aliero, malaria, pregnant women, P. falciparum, Nigeria
