Malaria is one of the common diseases in Upper Assam, particularly in the Lakhimpur district. It is influenced by various climatic and host factors. It is regarded as one of the major epidemics in Assam. The annual reports provide evidence that the magnitude of malaria across Assam is high and varies with location. It contributes more than 5% of the total cases recorded in the country annually. The study primarily deals with malaria disease and the scenario of malaria in Lakhimpur district. Both Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax occur in abundance, but Plasmodium vivax was the major parasite in the district. Amongst PHCs of Lakhimpur district, the Boginadi PHC, which is a tribal dominated and forest fringed area, was worst affected by malaria incidence.
