This study was carried out on fever as a predictor for malaria infection among individuals attending kofai phcc in Ardo-Kola LGA Taraba State. To achieve this 4 research questions were formulated. The survey design was adopted and the simple random sampling techniques were employed in this study. The population size comprise of selected staff and patients in kofai phcc, Ardo-Kola LGA Taraba State. In determining the sample size, the researcher conveniently selected 77 residents while 60 were returned and validated. Self-constructed and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The collected and validated questionnaires were analyzed using standard deviation. The result of the findings reveals that the major causes of malaria among adults in Nigeria include; Mosquito bites, Temperature and precipitation, Malaria vectors, Pollutants, Blood Transfusion and Immune System Deficiency.
In regard to the findings, the study recommends that Non-governmental organizations (NGO) should fully participate in enlightenment campaign in the locality and cleaning of roads, gutters and drainages should be encouraged to stop the spread of malaria. Further more, adults should endeavor to use insecticides in their houses to prevent the bite of mosquitoes.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]Rainfall provides the breeding sites for mosquitoes and increases
relative humidity necessary for mosquito survival, leading to increase
in the number of mosquitoes biting an individual per unit time (Lindsay
and Martens, 1998). An adult mosquito`s chance of survivorship is
determined by the ambient temperature, humidity and rainfall. Warmer
ambient temperatures shorten the duration of the extrinsic cycle, thus
increasing the chances of transmission (Jackson and Yang, 2010). Malaria
