4.2.3 Homestead location distance to <strong>fish</strong> pond and malaria incidence The responses revealed that malaria is experienced in all parts <strong>of</strong> the <strong>study</strong> area despite <strong>of</strong> the distance between the location <strong>of</strong> the household shelter and the <strong>fish</strong> pond.

Figure 8: Site characterization percentages <strong>of</strong> the <strong>fish</strong> ponds and households A content analysis <strong>of</strong> the results indicated that those households located in close proximity with <strong>fish</strong> ponds and that were surrounded with food crops and Dracaena fragrans live fence, suffered from higher malaria prevalence per a month. In figure 9 below are mosquito larvae at the base <strong>of</strong> the coco yam and Dracaena fragrans leaves. This implies that malaria prevalence in these households is not only accelerated by <strong>fish</strong> ponds but rather a multiple factors as already highlighted above.
