The need for evidence-based data, to inform policy decisions on malaria vector control interventions in Nigeria, necessitated the establishment of mosquito surveillance sites a few States Nigeria. In order make evidence-based-decisions, predictive studies using available data becomes imperative. We therefore predict distribution major members Anopheles gambiae s.l. Immature stages were collected from 72 study locations which span throughout year 2020 resulted identification over 60,000...
<strong>Background:</strong> Urogenital schistosomiasis (UgS) is a parasitic disease caused by <em>Schistosoma haematobium</em> and can lead to chronic ill-health. Nigeria endemic for schistosomiasis, but epidemiology of UgS has not been studied in most states. This study was conceived with the aim contribute towards an accurate national picture Nigeria. The prevalence associated risk factors were first time investigated among primary school pupils Jidawa Zobiya communities Dutse Local...
The presence of mosquitoes in an academic environment is a great threat to both staff and students’ wellbeing due the possibility transmission mosquito-borne diseases if bitten by infected mosquitoes. Thus, this study surveyed male hostels Federal University Dutse Jigawa State. was carried out using pyrethroid spray catch method from 0600 hours 0900 hours. A total nine hundred eighty-nine were collected. predominant specie Culex quinquefasciatus (61.53%) had mean value 152.25±0.20 which...
This study examined pyrethroid resistance intensity and mechanisms in Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) (Diptera: Culicidae) populations from Jigawa, North-West Nigeria. Resistance statuses to permethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin alphacypermethrin were determined with both WHO CDC bioassays. Synergist assay was conducted by pre-exposing the Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) using method. intensities 2x, 5x 10x of diagnostic concentrations bottle Species analysis presence knockdown mutation (Leu-Phe) done...
In order to mitigate and manage life-threatening mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, Dengue, lymphatic filariasis, both socio-demographic factors the collective vector control knowledge within community are pivotal. Hence, objective of current study is evaluate awareness understanding mosquito practices in specific communities located Jigawa State, North-west Nigeria. A cross-sectional was conducted which 60 structural questionnaires were distributed three selected communities. each...
Mosquito proliferation has been on the increase in most communities of Kano State, leading to a high rate mosquito-borne diseases, pregnant women, and infant mortality. Mosquitoes spend daytime resting human dwellings, frequent survey these mosquitoes is needed vector control for breaking disease transmission. Despite this, data mosquitos’ density are frequently missing. In this study, we have collected identified all samples indoor outdoor mosquito species assess female density. A...
An understanding of the ecological relationship between birds and vegetation is important for management conservation any wetland ecosystem. Despite significant importance Hadejia-Nguru Ramsar site an Important Bird Area, little known about bird communities. diversity density were examined compared Protected Areas (PAs) Unprotected (UPAs) with attention to density. Data collected from October December, 2015. A total 14 sites surveyed (seven in PAs seven UPAs), point count method was emp...
TB and HIV form a lethal combination, as each fuels the progress of other in infected patients. This study assessed haematological parameters pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients with without infection attending two secondary health facilities Jigawa State, Nigeria. A total 150 PTB visiting were randomly selected for study. 5ml venous blood was drawn aseptically help sterile syringe using vein puncture technique transferred into EDTA bottle to avoid coagulation. 2ml plane test tube analysis...
Preliminary investigation in August, 2017 reported the presence of Lymnaea natalensis, Bellamya unicolor, Melanoides tuberculata and Bulinus globosus order increasing abundance distribution Warwade dam, Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. A follow up study was carried out from April to October, 2019 reveal further details on freshwater snails relation some physiochemical factors dam. Four sampling sites; human activity, vegetation cover, lentic lotic were selected for along bank Freshwater...
Background: The Jigawa State Ministry of Health in Northern Nigeria undertook a pilot intervention to control schistosomiasis through preventive chemotherapy by ensuring that each child swallows praziquantel once annually from 2009 2013 five primary schools Dutse metropolis. Previously, the overall prevalence for urinary and intestinal determined using sedimentation Kato-Katz methods was 22.9%. objective this study is follow-up on effort. Methods: A cross sectional involving 150 randomly...
Cryptosporidium species and Giardia intestinalis cause diarrheal infections in humans other vertebrate animals globally are considered to be of great public health importance. The study was conducted determine the prevalence G. among patients attending General Hospital Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. Fresh stool specimens uncontaminated with urine were collected from a total 120 randomly selected hospital laboratory. processed macroscopically microscopically (by direct wet mount method,...
There is currently no documented literature on the status of transmission schistosomiasis in Warwade community situated near a dam. This study was designed to determine prevalence community. A total 300 urine and stool samples from randomly selected participants were analysed for S. haematobium mansoni using sedimentation kato-katz techniques respectively. pre-tested structured questionnaire administered all case minors their parents/guardians. The data Statistical Package Social Sciences...
The effect of malaria infection on hepatic and renal functions in pregnancywas investigated. Three malarious non-malarious pregnant women age ranges 15 to 40 years with a mean (SD) 23.5 (6.6) median (IQR) 20.5 (18.3 27) were enrolled. Liver enzymes (AST, ALT ALP) Kidney (UCE) determined using Randox standard assay kits. levels alkaline phosphatase (ALP) albumin significant as infected had significantly lowered ALP compared controls (21.3 vs 26.1 IU/L, P = 0.03 4.8 6.0 g/dl 0.02). There was...
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 93% of the world’s 207 million schistosomiasis cases. Urogenital and malaria are both public health problems in Nigeria, where they endemic. We determined co-prevalence urogenital schoolchildren assessed its implication on anaemia malnutrition. This cross-sectional study was conducted amongst primary Warwade, Saya Jigawar Daha villages Nigeria. Urine samples were collected to detect Schistosoma haematobium eggs,...
Mosquitoes are the greatest enemy of human beings as it transmits pathogen medical and veterinary importance that results to morbidity mortality globally. This study was aimed at identifying most preferred host for malaria vector classifying female Anopheles based on their abdominal status. The conducted in three communities; Gurungu, Baranda Warwade from April October, 2022. Ten (10) houses were randomly selected each communities collection mosquitoes. Indoor resting adult mosquitoes...
Intestinal protozoan parasites are the major cause of morbidity and mortality killing millions patients with HIV/AIDS each year; causing diarrhea especially in infants immunocompromised people worldwide. HIV infection has been modifying both epidemiology outcome parasitic infections. The aim this study was to determine prevalence intestinal infections among women attending Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), from October - December, 2016. Stool samples 82 were analyzed for parasite using...
Following a preliminary investigation study was carried from April to October, 2019 establish more information on the abundance and distribution of freshwater snails in relation physiochemical factors Warwade dam. Four sampling sites; human activity, vegetation cover, lentic lotic were selected for along bank Freshwater collected each four sites using long handled scoop net with mesh 0.2mm hand picking methods. Water samples analyzed laboratory standard procedures. A total 2,027 fresh water...
