| abnormal haemoglobins in the sudan savanna of nigeria. iv. malaria, immunoglobulins and antimalarial antibodies in haemoglobin ac individuals. | haemoglobin (hb) ac electrophoretic pattern was found in 0.7% of the population at garki, kano state, northern nigeria, an area where malaria is hyperendemic. twenty-one hb.ac subjects at all ages did not differ from the rest of the population in their frequency or density of plasmodium falciparum, p. malaria or p. ovale infections, nor in their igm concentrations and titres of specific antimalarial antibodies. however, igg levels in hb.ac subjects were frequently above the average of the refere ... | 1979 | 496483 |
| effect of hiv and malaria parasites co-infection on immune-hematological profiles among patients attending anti-retroviral treatment (art) clinic in infectious disease hospital kano, nigeria. | human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and malaria co-infection may present worse health outcomes in the tropics. information on hiv/malaria co-infection effect on immune-hematological profiles is critical for patient care and there is a paucity of such data in nigeria. | 2017 | 28346490 |
| is nigeria winning the battle against malaria? prevalence, risk factors and kap assessment among hausa communities in kano state. | malaria is one of the most severe global public health problems worldwide, particularly in africa, where nigeria has the greatest number of malaria cases. this community-based study was designed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of malaria and to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (kap) regarding malaria among rural hausa communities in kano state, nigeria. | 2016 | 27392040 |
| abnormal haemoglobins in the sudan savanna of nigeria. ii. immunological response to malaria in normals and subjects with sickle cell trait. | children born in areas hyperendemic for plasmodium falciparum are protected by maternal antibodies for up to about five months of life, after which they are subject to intense infection until they acquire sufficient immunity--by about five years of age. children with sickle cell trait (hb.as) are at an advantage during these critical years, probably because of preferential phagocytosis of parasitized red cells. this could lead to either (i) early processing of antigen by macrophages and an accel ... | 1979 | 386969 |
| a malaria model tested in the african savannah. | a new mathematical model of malaria has been developed for comparing the effects of alternative control measures. it describes both the temporal changes of the p. falciparum infection rate and the immunity level of the population as a function of the dynamics and characteristics of the vector populations, which are summarized in the concept of vectorial capacity. a critical vectorial capacity is specified, below which malaria cannot maintain itself at an endemic level. the model has been tested ... | 1974 | 4613512 |
