Determining malaria effects in rural Colombia

Sero-prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium malariae among HIV-positive patients in Jos, Plateau State, North-central Nigeria

“…The rate of malaria and HIV infection is higher in pregnant women because of their decreased immunity; they become vulnerable to all manners of infection whenever their immune system has been compromised. Findings in the present study however, contrasted that of Bonilla and Rodriguez (1993) who found that males had a higher malaria parasite infection rate than females. The reasons for the observed sex differences are not farfetched as some of the males exposed themselves more than females especially during hot weathers by moving barebodied thereby exposing themselves more to malaria vector bites than the females.…”

Association of ABO Blood Group and Malaria Parasitic Infection in Eiedbabkier, Sudan

“…The finding in this study is consistent with previous study done by Bonilla and Rodriguez [18] , where males had a higher malaria parasite infection rate than females. The presents study was, however, in contrast to that of Vlassoff and Bonilla [19] and I.A. TelaI.Aet al, 2015 [20] which reported more females being infected than males.…”

Epidemiology of falciparum malaria among residents of some rural and peri- urban communities in Ekiti State, Southwestern Nigeria

“…On the other hand, individuals within the age group 10 years and below have the least prevalence and intensity of malaria infection which may be as a result of care and protection against mosquito bites by their parents through the use of mosquito nets and adequate treatments. This corroborated the results of previous surveys conducted by Bonilla and Rodriguez (1993) and Manjurano et al (2011) who stated that the ownership and proper use of mosquito bed nets is strongly linked to the prevention of the disease. Therefore, even though malaria infection may tend to be higher among younger children as reported by many studies (Roca-Feltrer et al, 2010;Mawili-Mboumba et al, 2013;Farnert et al, 2014;Nankabirwa et al, 2014;Ursing et al, 2014;Ceesay et al, 2015;Mathanga et al, 2015;Pinchoff et al, 2016), the use of suitable prevention and control intervention can greatly help reduce malaria among children and generally across all age and sex group.…”
