Beschreibung: Abstract This study assesses knowledge of malaria diagnosis and prevention, examining how awareness of low malaria transmission influences diagnostic and preventive practices for malaria elimination. A cross-sectional study of sample size of 600 was conducted among staff from Federal College of Medical Laboratory Science and Technology, Jos; Plateau State College of Health Technology, Zawan, and Federal College of Veterinary and Medical Laboratory Technology, Vom in Plateau State, Nigeria, between March and June 2023 to gather information on the knowledge of malaria, malaria diagnosis, and malaria prevention. Plateau State is located in the North Central region of Nigeria at 9° 10′ N 9° 45′ E coordinates. The study explored the logistic regression analysis to assess the association between low transmission, knowledge diagnosis, and malaria prevention; also applied correlation analysis to assess the relationship between low transmission, knowledge diagnosis, and malaria prevention. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with a significance level set at p
