| further observations on chemoprophylaxis and prevalence of malaria using questionnaire data in urban and rural areas of burkina faso. | a cross-sectional study of malaria prevalence (98.6% plasmodium falciparum) was carried out in ouagadougou (burkina faso) and in 3 neighbouring villages on 2117 children, zero to five years old. data on antimalarial prophylaxis and treatment were obtained from the child's parent using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. regular weekly chloroquine consumption lowered the parasite rate but a significant increase with respect to parasite density was recorded in protected children from the ru ... | 1988 | 3271989 |
| [prevalence of malaria in ouagadougou and the surrounding rural environment during the period of maximal transmission]. | the prevalence of malaria infections was estimated in six different areas of the town of ouagadougou, burkina faso, and in three neighbouring villages. thick and thin blood films from a total of 2,117 children less than 5 years old were examined at the peak of the transmission season (august-september). plasmodium falciparum was found in more than 98% of the positive slides. the overall parasite index at ouagadougou was 16%, while indices from 51 to 88% were recorded in the three villages. signi ... | 1986 | 3455530 |

| plasmodium falciparum malaria in sympatric ethnic groups of burkina faso, west africa. | plasmodium falciparum parasite rate, parasite density and anti-cs antibodies were assessed in 196 subjects (age > 10 yrs) belonging to three sympatric west african ethnic groups, namely mossi, rimaibé and fulani, all exposed to very high seasonal malaria transmission in the same rural village near ouagadougou, burkina faso. no interethnic differences were noted in the use of antimalaria measures nor in the exposure to malaria vectors. however, interethnic differences were found in each of the th ... | 1995 | 8778668 |
| different response to plasmodium falciparum malaria in west african sympatric ethnic groups. | the comparison of malaria indicators among populations that have different genetic backgrounds and are uniformly exposed to the same parasite strains is one approach to the study of human heterogeneties in the response to the infection. we report the results of comparative surveys on three sympatric west african ethnic groups, fulani, mossi, and rimaibé, living in the same conditions of hyperendemic transmission in a sudan savanna area northeast of ouagadougou, burkina faso. the mossi and rimaib ... | 1996 | 8917569 |
