The population is the people who visit the Wagethe Health Center as many as 100 people as a sample by accidental sampling. Data were obtained using a questionnaire and analyzed using chi square and binary logistic regression. <strong>Result:</strong> Factors that influence the incidence of malaria in the Waghete Health Center, Tigi District, Deiyai Regency were the habit of using mosquito repellents (?-value = 0.009; RP = 2.091; CI95%= (1.225 – 3.568); use of insecticide-treated nets (?-value = 0.001; RP) = 2.700; CI95%= (1.466 – 4.972); use of wire netting (?-value = 0.009; RP = 2.182; CI95%= (1.215 – 3.919); house walls (?-value = 0.004; RP = 2.364; CI95% = (1.316 – 4.247); standing water (?-value = 0.018; RP = 2.222; CI95%= (1.136 – 4.344).</p><p>Meanwhile,  the factors that has no effect on the incidence of malaria in the Waghete Health Center, Tigi District, Deiyai Regency were gender (?-value = 0.379; RP = 0.379; CI95%= (0.453 – 1.248); age (?-value = 0.104; RP = 0.618; CI95%= (0.376 – 1.015); education (?-value = 1.000; RP = 0.993; CI95 %= (0.586 – 1.683); socioeconomic (?-value = 0.601; RP = 0.825; CI95%= (0.491 – 1.387); breeding place (?-value = 0.018; RP = 1.583; CI95%= (0.955 – 2.625) ); the presence of large livestock cages (?-value = 0.842; RP = 1.112; CI95% = (0.6467– 1.854). The dominant risk factors that influence the incidence of malaria in the Waghete Health Center, Tigi District, Deiyai Regency are the habit of using mosquito repellents, using insecticide-treated nets, using wire netting, and the most dominant risk factor is the use of mosquito nets.</p> ER -
