“…(Mazigo et al, 2010a). Limited use of insecticide treated nets and close location of homesteads in relation to breeding sites have been recognized as risk factors for malaria transmission (Chirebvu, Chimbari, & Ngwenya, 2014) In Sub Saharan Africa, numerous studies (Abate, Degarege, & Erko, 2013;Chirebvu, Chimbari, & Ngwenya, 2013;Opare et al, 2014;Spjeldnaes, Kitua, & Blomberg, 2014) have reported on community residents' knowledge about the cause, signs and symptoms, transmission and preventive methods of malaria. Many studies in Rwanda have reported about the prevalence and risk factors related to malaria, and community mobilisation for malaria elimination as well as factors impeding the acceptability and the use of malaria preventive measures (Gahutu et al, 2011;Ingabire et al, 2014;Ingabire et al, 2015;Kateera et al, 2015;Rulisa et al, 2013).…”
