| frequencies of some human genetic markers and their association with plasmodium falciparum malaria in the niger delta, nigeria. | there is paucity of information on the association between plasmodium falciparum malaria and some human genetic markers in the niger delta region of nigeria. hence, a study was undertaken in children to assess the current level of subclinical malaria due to p. falciparum. | 2010 | 20231768 |
| altered cord blood gammadelta t cell repertoire in nigeria: possible impacts of environmental factors on neonatal immunity. | infectious diseases during pregnancy can impact the development of fetal immunity, leading to reduced neonatal resistance to infection and decreased responses to pediatric vaccines. plasmodium falciparum causes placental infection in low parity pregnant women and is among the pathogens that affect fetal immunity. recognizing the relationship between malaria and gammadelta t lymphocytes in adults, we asked whether neonatal gammadelta t cells would be altered in malaria-endemic regions as a marker ... | 2008 | 18440637 |
| the prevalence of plasmodia parasitaemia among donors in the niger delta of nigeria. | giemsa-stained blood films from 1018 consecutively recruited blood donors was examined quantitatively for plasmodium species to determine the prevalence of transfusion-transmissible malaria among blood donors. the overall prevalence rate was 104 (10.2%). infection rate was highest among donors aged 10-19 years (16.7%) and was significantly higher among commercially remunerated donors (17.8%) compared with family replacement donors (4.8%) (chi(2) = 45.19; p < 0.001). pre-donation mean haemoglobin ... | 2007 | 17326885 |
