Abstract

Malaria has been identified to be one of the most common diseases with a great public health problem globally and it is caused by mosquitos’ parasites. This prevails in developing nations where healthcare facilities are not enough for the patients. The technological advancement in medicine has resulted in the collection of huge volumes of data from various sources in different formats. A reliable and early parasite-based diagnosis, identification of symptoms, disease monitoring, and prescription are crucial to decreasing malaria occurrence in Nigeria. Hence, the use of deep and machine learning models is essentials to reduce the effect of malaria-endemic and for better predictive models. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework to predict malaria-endemic in Nigeria. To predict the malaria-endemic well, both environmental and clinical data were used using Kwara State as a case study. The study used a deep learning algorithm as a classifier for the proposed system. Three locations were selected from Irepodun Local Government Areas of Kwara State with 34 months periodic pattern. Each location reacted differently based on environmental factors. The findings indicate that both factors are significant in malaria prediction and transmission. The LSTM algorithm provides an efficient method for detecting situations of widespread malaria.
