Secondary data on malaria cases managed between January, 2104 and December, 2016 across all the eleven health districts of the county were obtained from the health management information systems and the district health management software. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the extracted data. In his findings, the author claims that his study showed similar trend in pattern and distribution of malaria infection over a period of 2014 to 2016 and across the health districts, however it did not suggest a reduction in the trend of occurrence. It emphasized that, more attention should be given to the under 5 year’s population.

Introduction The article by Gabriel Omoniyi et al, 2017, “pattern and distribution of malaria i n Wulu-A typical County in Southern Sudan”, Texila International journal of public health, September, Volume5, issue3, pp 58 - 66, visited and read on 08/04/2018, from website www.texilajournal.com/public-health/edition/59-volume5- issue3. This review critically reviews “pattern and distribution of malaria in Wulu-A typical County in Southern Sudan”, Texila International journal of public health. The review summarized the article, analyzed the effectiveness of the structure of the article, investigating the information used herein. Then the review critiqued the article, looking at its currency, accuracy, objectivity and coverage. The review analyzed the graphs, tables and figures before jugging article accessibility and credibility. This article was well fairly written and organized, clear and highly related to its topic pattern and distribution of malaria in Wulu-A typical County in Southern Sudan. II. Literature review on pattern and Distribution of Malaria Ilona Carneiro et al, 2010 explains that there is evidence that the age-pattern of the Plasmodium falciparum malaria varies with transmission intensity. A better understanding of how its variation with the severity of outcome and across a range of transmission settings could enable locally appropriate targeting of interventions to those most at risk. Prathiba M. De Silva and John M. Marshall (2012) says that Sub-Saharan Africa suffers by far the greatest malaria burden worldwide and is currently undergoing a profound demographic change, with a growing proportion of its population moving to the urban areas. Urbanization is generally expected to reduce the malaria transmission; however the disease still persists in most African cities, in some cases at higher levels than in nearby rural areas. Noriko endo and elfatih AB Eltahir (2018) states that new dam construction is known to increase malaria transmission in Africa as the vectors of malaria—Anopheles mosquitoes—use bodies of water as breeding sites. The Precise environmental mechanisms of how reservoirs increase malaria transmission are yet to be identified. Understanding of these mechanisms should lead to a better evaluation of dam construction impacts and to new prevention strategies. Article structure The article was started with an abstract which summarized the whole paper by laying out a brief overview. This was followed by the keywords used in the article on the same page. The introduction followed, which showed estimates of malaria incidence rates according to world Health organization (WHO). All the
