In Health Centers (HCs) level showed that AMI was increased in 8 HCs after the earthquakes and tsunami but decreased in 2 HCs. Pattern of monthly malari incidence (MoMI) one year after the disaster was resembled the pattern one year before (2004), where it was increased from early to mid of the year and then decreased to the end. The number of slide positivity rate (SPR) or positive rate were vary, due to clinical symptom variation, differences among others in the techniques used for examining the blood samples (microscopy and RDT), the width of the survey area, as well as the location and time of the surveys.
