A study was carried out on the status of malaria among 800 randomly selected pregnant women in Lagos State, Nigeria. Blood samples were obtained from finger pricking and tested for parasites thin blood films 60% prevalence obtained. Interviews conducted structured questionnaires administered to obtain information clinical social aspects malaria. Results show that primigravidae accounted a greater part affected mainly their 1st 3rd month pregnancy. The ages infected ranged 30 39 years (77%)....
An entomological study was carried out in coastal Lagos, south-western Nigeria, to explore the role of Anopheles gambiae s.l. and An. moucheti transmission Plasmodium falciparum this holo-endemic area. Mosquitoes were caught, on human bait at night by pyrethrum-spray catches during day, twice a month throughout 2000.Of 1812 mosquitoes collected, s.l., predominant vector species, represented 78.7% while other 21.3% moucheti. The results PCR-based test identified 56.8% complex collected as...
Background : Two of the problems malaria parasite vector control in Nigeria are diversity Anopheline vectors and large size country. distribution transmission dynamics were therefore compared between four ecotypes during rainy season.Methods Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used molecular identification after morphological microscopically. Enzyme linked immunorsorbent assay (ELISA) for blood meal analysis sporozoite detection.Results Five species identified out 16,410 anophelines...
Three communities along Badagry axis of the Lagos lagoon were sampled for indoor resting Anopheles mosquitoes in order to determine their species composition, relative abundance, density and contribution malaria transmission coastal ecosystem. A total 1938 adult female collected from 2005 2007 constituted three viz gambiae, An melas An. nili. The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)–-based tests indicated that more than three-fourth gambiae s.l (75.8%) population belongs s.s remaining melas....
Studies were carried out on the social aspects of malaria among 600 students. Three hundred students (150 male, 150 females) randomly selected from two tertiary institutions in Lagos, Nigeria. These schools are Lagos State University (LASU) and AOCOED (Adeniran Ogunsanya College Education). A structured questionnaire elicited relevant information knowledge, perception malaria. Students aged 21-23, faculty arts their second year participated mostly study with no significant difference between...
Introduction: Mosquitoes are slender, flying insects of the order diptera (true flies) in arthropod Super-Phylum.They deadly transmitting diseases such as malaria, elephantiasis and several arboviruses.The adaptability mosquitoes is a problem this tantamount to greater spread diseases.Malaria most widespread mosquito borne disease Nigeria where it holoendemic. Aim:The source malaria diverse breeding sites mosquitoes.This work investigates preferred water sites, physicochemical factors colour...
The role of anopheles mosquitoes in malaria transmission was investigated Badagry Local Government Area Lagos, Nigeria, between July-October 2004. A total 1,800 female anopheline were collected indoors by human bait and pyrethrum sprays this coastal rainforest zone. Species identification morphologically polymerase chain reaction (PCR) carried out. ELISA used to examine P. falciparium sporozoites-infected their blood meal origin. An.gambiae s.s (39%), An.funestus (16.9%), An.moucheti...
The current study is to evaluate the prevalence and intensity of common ectoparasites (Pediculus humanus capitus (Head lice) and Cimex hemipterus(Bedbugs) in selected areas in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria between July December, 2008. Five Lagos State, (Ojo, Mushin, Ikorodu, Badagry Ajeromi) were randomly sampled included for occurrence human Head lice Bed bugs. In each 5 locations, 200 randomly selected students participated survey. Similarly, 40 households (HH) location on bedbug’s collected by...
Human host preference of female Anopheles mosquitoes collected from studenthostels the Lagos State University (LASU) in south †western, Nigeriawas determined. Two hundred and seventy two (272) were collectedindoors out which 219 (80.5%) identifiedusing morphological characters. One thirty five (61.6%) femaleswere male hostels whereas 84 (38.3%) fromfemale ( X2= 11.86 P<0.05). Engorged was identifiedby their swollen abdomens. The blood meals analyzed using directenzyme linked...
Sickle cell patients are a special risk-group that deserves attention in our endeavour to roll back malaria, especially among the right risk-group. Special should be directed at sicklers who already anaemic. Moreso, malaria is one of causes anaemia tropics. The gravity these dual problems prompted this study. Studies were carried out on status 18 pregnant women (sicklers) and 20 infacts (sicklers). They selected after genotype testing from 480 600 infants randomly two hospitals Lagos State....
This research was to carry out an environmental surveillance for cellulose-degrading microorganisms present in wastes dumpsites Lagos, southwest Nigeria. Solid waste has become a heavy burden both government and citizens developing countries all over the world due increase population. The presence of cellulolytic their potential degrade complex polymer; cellulose into simple sugars like glucose under optimum conditions were also evaluated. Soil leachate samples collected (0 -10cm depth) from...
Malaria is a disease that contributes to low academic performance among students. We investigated the preferred antimalarial drugs and period prevalence of malaria at exam periods in University. Structured questionnaires were administered 120 students who randomly selected which 73% aged 16-25 years. 84% do not use preventive but Fansidar was mostly 16%. Respondents from Faculties Science Social Sciences opted for non-drug measures. The most Amatem (26%) while least P-alaxin (0.83%) 27%...
Trypanosomosis is a debilitating protozoan disease caused by parasites trypanosome, the known to be transmitted through vector and mode of transmission either saliva or fecal contamination wound bite vector. Consequently tackling trypanosomosis has positive impact on goals many nations which includes eradication extreme poverty boost livestock production improve lives human populace. Although number new cases appears decline, while increased infections in tropical Africa was due limited...
Five areas in Lagos State, Nigeria (Ojo, Mushin, Ikorodu, Badagry and Ajeromi) were randomly sampled for ectoparasites of livestock. On 600 livestock (200 Cattle, 200 sheep goats), Ticks (Amblyloma variegatum) had 59.1% prevalence, Cattle lice (Haematopinus eurystermus) (Linognathus vituli) both a prevalence 78.5% while Mites infestations with (Sarcoptei scabei) 10.5% prevalence. the highest geometric mean intensity infection (660 ticks/ areas) lowest (111 Scabs /Lagos areas). Prevalence was...
