“…Concerning age and blood groups, our results agree with other results found in other regions of Algeria (Bouzenda & Ouelaa 2022, Bensaber et al 2023. In this investigation, the age group most infected is between 21 and 40 with 46.40%, followed by those situated between 41 and 60 years with 27.89% (Table 1).…”

“…The order of frequency of ABO found in our sample is very close to those found by other investigations carried out in other regions of Algeria (Derouiche et al 2021, Bouzenda & Ouelaa 2022, Bensaber et al 2023). These frequencies do not show a relationship between blood group and SARS-CoV-2 infection, given that the frequencies in the uninfected population are almost the same.…”

Background: The COVID-19 disease has affected more than 760 million people and caused more than 6,780,000 deaths worldwide. These numbers are likely to increase; however, the availability of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine has slowed its rate of spread. On the other hand, several societies around the world have used many medicinal plants to prevent or treat this disease, particularly in regions with a long history of traditional medicine, like North African countries.Method: This study was conducted from February to November 2022 in three Algerian provinces (Bejaia, Bouira, and Tizi-Ouzou). The ethnobotanical information was obtained through a direct interview with 459 people cured of COVID-19. Results: In this investigation, 35 medicinal plants belonging to 21 families were registered, of which 74.29% are local and 25.71% are imported from other countries. The plants mostly used are Citrus limon L. (68.49%), Origanum vulgare L. (50%),

BackgroundABO and Rh blood group systems are the most significant blood group systems recognized by the International Society of Blood Transfusion and are widely used for clinical and anthropological purposes. This systematic review determined the distribution and allelic frequency of ABO and Rh(D) antigens in Ghana.MethodsLiterature searches were performed in PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect, up to February 20, 2024, and included studies published from 2000 to 2024 in all regions of Ghana. The search terms used to retrieve the preferred literature were “Blood Group/Antigen” and “ABO and Rh(D)” and “Distribution/Frequency/Prevalence,” coupled with the names of the different regions/districts/municipalities in Ghana. Similar blood group individuals from all the regions were added, and countrywide data were gathered. The Hardy−Weinberg model was used to estimate the allelic frequency of blood antigens.ResultsBlood group O (54.72%) was the predominant group in the Ghanaian population, followed by B (21.74%), A (19.65%), and AB (3.89%). Rh(D) antigen was present in 92.28% of the population, and only 7.72% were Rh(D) negative. The calculated allelic frequencies of A, B, O, Rh(D) positive, and Rh(D) negative were 0.1227, 0.1376, 0.7397, 0.7222, and 0.2778 for IA(p), IB(q), i(r), ID(v), and Id(u), respectively.ConclusionThe phenotypic frequency of the ABO blood group occurred in the pattern O>B>A>AB, and the prevalence of the Rh(D) negative blood group was 7.72% in Ghana. Future nationwide studies are recommended to assess the distribution of ABO, Rh, and other blood group systems.
