Objectives: To quantify the prevalence of Plasmodium species and transmission patterns human malaria in highland lowland areas Plateau State, Nigeria. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Malaria studies were conducted from November, 2015 through to October, 2016. Microscopic examination using thin thick blood smears was employed. Determination parasite presence identification carried out X100 objectives under oil immersion. Chi square (χ2 ) statistics used test statistical significance...
Vector control is a critical element of malaria programs in Africa. To reduce human exposure to infective Anopheles mosquitoes, most rely on methods that kill adult mosquitoes. Therefore, the study distribution and abundance larvae Toro Local Government Area (LGA.), Bauchi State, North-East Nigeria was carried out July 2013. Five villages were randomly selected for collection larvae. A total 988 collected from five habitat types. The paddy recorded highest 494(50%) while canal had least...
Malaria is a serious disease and still remains public health problem in many parts of Nigeria.The aim this study was to describe malaria transmission trends analyzed the impact climatic factors on highlands Plateau State, Central retrospective survey which used archival data climate parameters medical case records malaria. Rainfall, relative humidity, temperature were obtained from nearest weather stations locations 1980 2015. Data reported cases collected general hospitals selected local...
Background: An estimate of 250,000 children are born annually with sickle cell disease (SCD) worldwide and 75%–85% the affected in Africa; where mortality rates for those under age 5 years range from 50% to 80%. Objective: The present study was conducted prevalence SCD among Plateau State Specialist Hospital (PSSH), Jos, Nigeria. Methodology: Ethical approval obtained Health Research Ethics Committee Hospital. Secondary data on age, gender, region case notes infants, and/or adolescents; who...
Malaria infection is a severe parasitic infectious disease transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. The presents with consequences in pregnant women and children <5 years, particularly sub-Saharan Africa where burden highest. pregnancy may present symptoms such as miscarriages, premature delivery, low-birth-weight neonates, neonatal death. This study therefore determined prevalence malaria among Jos Metropolis. Capillary blood samples were collected from 200...
Malaria is still a major public health challenge in Nigeria and other sub-Saharan tropical countries. The study aimed at determining the Knowledge, Attitude, Perception (KAP) of malaria among 200 outpatients attending selected Primary Health Centers (PHC) Jos North Local Government Area (LGA), Plateau State, Nigeria. A hyperendemicity 300(52%) with intense densities across those examined individuals computing sex, age, occupational groups no significant statistical differences (PD 0.05),...
Malaria remains a major public health concern in Nigeria and the vector (Anopheles species) can only be controlled effectively by having good knowledge of its composition potential for disease transmission. This work aimed at surveying indoor malaria vectors and, Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices (KAP) relation to transmission Toro LGA, Bauchi State, Nigeria.
Malaria vector abundance has been linked to certain agricultural practices. This work examined the impact of practice irrigation on composition and seasonal distribution malaria vectors in agrarian communities Kano state. Longitudinal data collection was done four times a year, corresponding different transmission seasons from early rains late rainy season, dry season season. Indoor-biting adult mosquitoes were collected using standard pyrethrum spray (PSC) techniques. Female Anopheles...
Mosquitoes are insects in the order Diptera with two main subfamilies Anophelinae and Culicinae. exploit all kinds of lentic habitats for breeding: natural breeding (e.g. ponds, swamps, streams etc.) or artificial ditches, pits, construction sites, gutters, tyre tracks, cans etc). Prevailing physicochemical variables these essential factors survival, development adult emergence mosquitoes. This study aimed to investigate impact salinity on Anopheles larvae. larvae were collected at Lamingo,...
Malaria and arboviruses are public health menaces, causing major morbidity in developing countries more severe pregnancy leading to adverse effects which can lead fetal maternal death, hence, this study determined the prevalence of dengue, zika malaria infections among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics some hospitals within Bauchi Local Government Area, State, Nigeria. One hundred seventy-seven blood samples were collected screened for using Rapid Diagnostic test kits, while...
Study’s Excerpt The relationship between altitude and malaria transmission dynamics in Plateau State, North-Central Nigeria, is assessed. highest prevalence was observed at lower altitudes vice-versa. Environmental factors (altitude) have an influence on epidemiology the region. Full Abstract This longitudinal study assessed of human infection across different altitudinal zones aiming to identify impact dynamics. Malaria a potentially lethal disease caused by protozoan parasites called...
Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites are a global concern and cause serious damage to the health of animals, including horses, because their deleterious effects on these animals. Owing improperly diagnosing parasitic load resulting incorrect treatment, anthelmintics becoming problem. Although rapid diagnostic techniques such as McMaster FECPAK G2 available in Africa, concentration techniques, flotation sedimentation, commonly used screening for gastrointestinal parasites. In this study,...
Adolescence is a critical stage in human development. Most young people become sexually active during adolescence and are more likely to have multipartner unprotected sex with high-risk behavior that predisposes them transmitted infections such as immunodeficiency virus (HIV).The objective of the study was evaluate effectiveness structured teaching programme on transmission prevention HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) among adolescent girls.An evaluative research approach...
ABSTRACT Background & objectives: Malaria remains a major public health concern in Nigeria and the vectors ( Anopheles species) can only be controlled effectively by having good knowledge of its composition potential for disease transmission. This work aimed at surveying indoor malaria vectors, Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices (KAP) relation to transmission Toro LGA, Bauchi State, Nigeria. Methods: Mosquitoes were collected Pyrethrum Spray Catch (PSC) between October December 2019...
Breeding of dogs in houses is a common practice Amazah District which results very close contact between humans and dogs. With the sharing space, sometimes even food, conditions for transmission different zoonoses are created. This study was conducted to determine prevalence gastrointestinal parasites treatment, control prevention purposes District, Jos North, Plateau State, Nigeria. A total two hundred (200) stool samples were collected from five (5) wards. Two diagnostic techniques namely,...
Background: The successes in the poultry industry are being diminished by ravaging effect of coccidiosis that result great mortality birds and economic losses to farmers. Here, we describe responses three coccidiocidal drugs commonly used farmers tropical regions. Materials Methods: weight performance, faecal oocysts count, haematological parameters histopathological architecture were investigated. Twenty-five days old broiler chickens both sexes randomly assigned five groups. Of these 5...
