| prevalence of malaria parasitaemia in transfused donor blood in benin city, nigeria. | in view of the problem of transfusional malaria, the prevalence of malaria parasitaemia in transfused donor blood was assessed. blood film examination for malaria parasites on giemsa-stained donor blood which was used for transfusion to neonates in benin city, nigeria was carried out over a 6-month period. blood group o was the dominant blood type (17%). a high malarial parasite prevalence rate of 40% was noted in the transfused donor blood and plasmodium falciparum was the dominant infecting sp ... | 1996 | 8790671 |
| chloroquine prophylaxis associated with high prevalence of plasmodium falciparum pfcrt k76t mutation in people with sickle-cell disease in benin city, nigeria. | high mortality and morbidity in sickle-cell disease has been associated with malaria infection especially in countries where chloroquine is used. chloroquine resistance has been associated with the emergence of pfcrt mutant genes. this study aimed at comparing the prevalence rate of pfcrt t76 mutation in plasmodium falciparum isolates from infected individuals with sickle-cell disease and sickle-cell trait. this study was carried out in benin city between the months of april and june 2006. this ... | 2008 | 18399317 |
