Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of climatic factors on malaria cases among pregnant women in Ogun State. A zero-truncated negative binomial regression was used to analyze the effect of meteorological variables and malaria cases among pregnant women using a 10 year historical data from January 2004 to December 2013. A bivariate analysis shows an association between rainfall ((0.000935), 95% CI 0.00026-0.00161, p-value 0.0070), humidity ((0.007698), 95% CI 0.00054-0.01486, p-value 0.0353), and maximum temperature ((-0.04628), 95% CI -0.08037- -0.01219, p-value 0.0082) and malaria cases among pregnant women. There is a significant relationship between meteorological variables and malaria cases among pregnant women in Ogun State, Nigeria.
