“…The prevailing blood group among the studied population showed that blood group O+ had the highest prevalence with 53.3%.This finding agrees with Enosolease and Bazuaye who reported 53.2% in Benin area of Niger-Delta, Abah and Joe-Cliff who reported that people in Blood group O were more than those of the other blood groups among blood donors in Port Harcourt and Odokuma et al who also reported blood group O as the most common among students of the Abraka campus of Delta State University in Nigeria [21,36,37]. This supports the universal knowledge that blood group O is the commonest of all the blood groups.…”

Background: Transmission of Malaria by blood transfusion remains a significant public health problem in the malaria endemic regions like Nigeria. This study therefore was to investigate Plasmodium malaria and ABO blood group among blood donors in Yenegoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Materials and methods:Prevalence of malaria infection was determined on 250 randomly selected blood donors (201 males and 49 females) using standard parasitological method and ABO blood group was done using the monoclonal antisera A, B, and D (murex Diagnostic, inc, Dartford, UK) on a slide and observing for agglutination. Results:The overall prevalence was 91(36.4%) out of which 84(41.8%) were males and 7(14.3%) were females. Prevalence of infection in relation to age showed that subjects within age's 24-29 years were more infected with 48.6%. Followed by those within ages 30-35 years with 42.9%, and those within 42-47 years with 30.4% while the least infected age group were those within the ages 18-24 years with 23.7% rate of infections. ABO blood group of the population sampled showed that Blood group O+ was the most prevalent with 119(47.6%) followed by blood group B+ with 62(24.8%) and A+ with 31(12.4%) while the least prevalent was AB-with 0 prevalence. The prevalence of infection in relation to ABO blood group showed that blood group O+ had the highest prevalence with 42.9% followed by blood group A+ with 41.9% and groups AB+ and A-both tied with 33.3% while the least prevalence was recorded in blood group AB-with zero prevalence. The difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion:The prevalence of malaria infection among blood donors is high and blood group O harbours more parasite than any other blood group in Bayelsa State.

“…Blood group A, B, AB, and O had the 21.6%, 26.2%, 4.9% and 47.2% respectively. The result is similar to the result obtained by [5] [6].…”

“…The results of this study showed that blood group O was the highest with a percentage frequency of 47.2% followed by blood group B with a percentage frequency of 26.2%, blood group A as 21.6% and AB as 4.9% which is in correlation with the study made by [9], but blood group A and B was found with variation in the frequency of distribution when compare with the study made in Nigeria as a whole by [6]. This could be as a result of variation in sample size.…”

“…So having adequate knowledge about one's blood group can be very informative and will help improve the health status of people. Though studies have been carried out and published on several ethnic groups in Nigeria like Ogbomosho, Oyo State [5], Benin, Niger-Delta region [6], some other ethnic groups still have their statistics not known and this ignorance has led to high rates of mortality. It is to this effect that this study is being carried out among the indigenes of FCT, Abuja, Nigeria to determine if tribe and ethnicity was a factor that affects variations in blood groups since there are no published data regarding the Blood group and Rhesus factor among the indigenes of FCT, Abuja, Nigeria.…”

A series of glycoprotein and glycolipids on red blood cell surface constitute blood group antigens. These are the ABO (A, B, AB and O) and Rh blood groups which are the most important blood groups despite the long list of several other blood groups discovered so far. The ABO and Rh blood groups vary worldwide and are not found in equal numbers even among ethnic groups. Therefore, this study was aimed at having information on the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups among indigenes of FCT, Abuja, Nigeria. A total of 305 individuals were randomly selected among the indigenes of FCT, Abuja, Nigeria (Gwari, Bassa, and Koto). The blood samples were taken by cubital venipuncture and analysed using the agglutination method. 170 (55.7%) were males and 135 (44.3%) were females. In the ABO system, their blood groups were A 66 (21.6%), B 80 (26.2%), AB 15 (4.9%) and O 104 (47.2%). Rh-positive were 292 (95.7%) and Rh-negative were 13 (4.3%). Blood group O and Rh-positive had the highest frequency and blood group AB and Rh-negative had the least frequency. The results obtained were compared with previously published data. Some variations in frequencies were observed. However, apart from blood transfusion practise, it is imperative to have information on the distribution of these blood groups in any population group that comprise tribes and ethnic groups.
