ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTThe study surveyed the prevalence of malaria as well as management practices adpted in Ndiegoro community, Aba South L.G.A., Abia state between May and August 2009. Blood samples of 300 individuals who attended local hospital were examined using Giemsa stained thick and thin films, One hundred and fifty two (152) persons (51%) were infected with Plasmodiumfalciparum . The age group 0-5 years ( 74.3%) had the highest prevalence, while the age group 36-45 years ( 40.0%) recorded the lowest ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER 1 MALARIAINTRODUCTION:Malaria is a life-threatening disease of man caused by parasite of the genus Plasmodium, which is transmitted from person to person, through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is a killer and debilitating disease and remains a formidable health and socio-economic problem in the world (Nebeet al, 2002). Jaine and Michael (1990) described it as the leading cause of death in the developing world. The World Health Report (2002) reported that about 90% ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 5 ]sporozoites which migrate to the salivary gland of the mosquito (Good et al, 2001). Some of these sporozoites will be expelled into the vertebrate host as the mosquito takes a blood meal, and thus reinitiate the infection in the vertebrate host.Malaria can also be transmitted through blood transfusion from infected person or transplacentaly from pregnant mother to the fetus. However, transmission of this nature accounts for a negligible percentage.2.6 Pathogenesis and Pathology of MalariaM ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER THREE3.0 Materials and methods3.1 The Study AreaThe study area is Ndiegoro, a semi-urban community in Aba South L.G.A. in AbiaState southeastern Nigeria. It is located between latitude 8o and 10oNof equator and longitude 8o and 10o E of the meridian. The vegetation is typically rainforest. The mean annual rainfall of about 2250 to 2500mm and mean annual temperature is 25 to 27oc with high relative humidity. The rainy season is observed from May to October while the dry season ...

CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER FOUR4.0 RESULTSThe results showed that 153 patients were
positive for malaria parasite out of the 300 sampled. Therefore the
prevalence of malaria was found to be 51.0% for the period between May
and August, 2009. The prevalence of malaria with regards to age groups
were found to be statistically significant (p) yrs. (Table 1). It
was also observed that all the malaria cases detected were infections of
only P. falciparum. No cases of mixed infections were identified.More

CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER FIVEDiscussion:Malaria is acknowledged to be by far the most important tropical parasitic disease causing great suffering and loss of lives (WHO, 1993).The days of labor lost, the cost of treatment of patients and the negative impact of the disease make malaria a major social economic burden (WHO, 1993).Results from the study indicate that more than half (51.0%) of the individuals examined were positive for malaria parasites in their blood.Table 1 shows the prevalence of malaria infectio ...

CHAPTER SIX - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER 6 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION6.1 SummaryThis research set out to determine the prevalence of malaria infection among members of Ndiegoro community, Aba South L.G.A., AbiaState, attending hospital and to ascertain their management practices.The prevalence of malaria parasites was done using both thick and thin blood film microscopy on those attending local hospitals. On the knowledge of management practices of the people, qualitative data was elicited using structured questionnaire. ... Continue reading---
