Abstract: Malaria is still a public health problem in Indonesia, especially in Alor district, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Alor district is an endemic area, with malaria incidence rates fluctuating every year and different degrees of endemicity in each village. Through the malaria elimination program, NTT province is expected to be free from malaria by 2030. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of malaria infections in Alor Kecil and Petleng villages, Alor district. The research used an observational method in a cross-sectional study. A total of 194 samples were collected using a simple random sampling method. Malaria was diagnosed using a microscopic method. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the examination showed a prevalence of malaria falciparum in Alor Kecil and Petleng villages of 7.7%. Thus, a malaria eradication strategy is needed to achieve the elimination of malaria in Alor district, NTT.'
