Abstract
115 blood donors were screened for the presence of malaria and other blood parasites at the Blood Bank, University College Hospital, Ibadan, between January and July, 1984. 11.3% of these had blood parasites; 7.8% had Plasmodium falciparum with parasitaemias from 0.03-0.2%, and 3.5% had Loa loa microfilaraemia. No other blood parasites were observed. Serological examination by the indirect fluorescent antibody test revealed that 86% of the donors had malaria antibody with reciprocal titres ranging from 16 to 512. There was no significant association between ABO blood group and malaria parasitaemia or antibody titre.Entities:
