CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background of the studyMalaria is a potentially deadly disease characterized by cyclical bouts of fever with muscle stiffness, shaking and sweating (WHO, 2000). Macleod (1998) also stated that malaria is a parasitic infection transmitted to humans through the bites of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. The name “malaria†is derived from the Italian words Mal (bad) and aria (air). It arose originally because the citizens of Rome thought that the d ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 6 ]The two methods in routine use are light microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RTDs) (Giribaldi et al., 2004; WHO, 2008).a.
Light microscopic test: this is the direct microscopic visualization of
the parasite on the thick and thin blood smear of patients (WHO, 2010).
However, the risk of false negative microscopy is higher if the patient
has received a recent dose of an artemisinin derivative (Gobbi et al.,
2005). Microscopy can be used for speciation and quantification of
parasites ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]MicroscopyPreparation of Thick Blood FilmsA
drop of blood of each patients sample was placed at the centre of a
clean microscope slide. The cover of each syringe needle was used to
spread the blood drop in a circular motion to approximately a diameter
of 0.4cm.The slides were allowed to air dry (Cheesbrough, 2006).Preparation of 5% Giemsa in Phosphate Buffer (pH 7.2)5gram
of Giemsa powder was weighed using a weighing balance.0.41 gram of
Na2HPO4 and 0.65 gram of KH2PO4 was also weigh ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]Hypothesis Two: The There is no significant difference in malaria seropositive individual among Kwara State University Students on the basis of academic status.Table 4.2 shows the calculated chi-square value of 1.98 at p > 0.05. Since the p-value is greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference in malaria seropositive individual among Kwara State University Students on the basis of academic status is accepted. This means that there is no significant ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE5.0 DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONSThis study determined the prevalence of malaria seropositive and seronegative population among Kwara State University, Malete students. Related literature review was made considering scholars explanation of the subject matter. Relevant data for the study was generated through laboratory experiment conducted by the researcher. Two research hypotheses were formulated and the hypotheses stated that (1) there is no significant difference in m ... Continue reading---
