“…This study was aimed at investigating the role of ABO blood types on malaria risk among the Chinese people. However, no statistically significant relation was found between malaria prevalence and ABO blood types, which was consistent with previous studies [2, 3, 11]. …”

“…This result agrees with previous studies, which reported a high frequency of blood group O in tropical regions with rampant malaria [3, 9, 11, 12]. However, contrary to our observation, Deepa et al [13] stated blood group B as the dominant blood type in their study.…”

“…Bayoumi et al [2] observed no association between malaria prevalence and ABO blood types in central Sudan. Similarly, a study in Nigeria reported no significant association between ABO blood types and malaria infection [3]. However, other studies indicated a significant association between malaria and ABO blood types.…”

Objectives This study aims at investigating the relationship between malaria and blood group types in east China. Methods Between 1 January 2011 and 31 March 2017, 99 malaria patients were enrolled for the study. Laboratory tests were conducted on their infection status and blood types. Clinical data of the participants were retrieved for analysis. Results There was no mortality during the period of study. Overall, 90 (90.91%) of the patients were positive for Plasmodium falciparum, 8 (8.08%) were infected with Plasmodium vivax, and only 1 (1.01%) was infected with Plasmodium malariae. The most common blood group among the participants was group O (38.38%) followed by blood groups A, B, and AB, with 32.32%, 22.22%, and 7.07% cases, respectively. There was no significant relationship between the prevalence of malaria and ABO blood types (P > 0.05). In the blood group O, the prevalence of haemolytic-uremic syndrome and cerebral malaria was 13.16% and 5.25%, respectively, which was lower than that of the other three blood types (P > 0.05). Conclusion There was no mortality among the malaria patients in this study. The blood group O was the most common blood type. Due to small sample size of data, there was no significant association between ABO blood types and malaria infection.

“…This is comparable to findings in some other similar research [7,11,12,13,14]. The ABO locus is linked with serum levels of molecules which bind to Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes that are markers of damage to inflammatory processes and vascular endothelial cells [15,16]. Parasitized erythrocytes form a stronger and large rosette with uninfected erythrocytes in blood groups A, B and AB but smaller and weaker rosettes in blood group O [17].…”

A cross -sectional study was conducted to investigate the relationship between ABO blood groups and malaria parasitaemia in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Thick and thin films made from venous blood samples collected from 1000 consenting outpatient study subjects, were stained with 10% Giemsa stains and viewed microscopically using oil immersion objective to detect malaria parasites following standard parasitological techniques. ABO blood group typing with monoclonal Antisera A, B and D was carried out using agglutination technique. An overall malaria prevalence of 32% was observed among the study subjects irrespective of blood groups. Blood groups A and O had higher malaria prevalence rates of 38% and 33% respectively while blood group AB had the least malaria prevalence rate of 13% (P<0.05). Malaria parasite density levels >1000 parasites/µL in relation to ABO blood groups showed a higher prevalence in blood group A and least prevalence in blood group O with rates of 29% and 3% respectively (P<0.05). This study showed that individuals with blood group O were susceptible to contracting uncomplicated malaria infections but had a high resistance to developing severe malaria parasitemia compared to individuals with blood Wogu et al.; ARRB, 11(3): 1-4, 2016; Article no.ARRB.29928 2 groups A, B and AB. Malaria control strategies should be directed equally at individuals with the different ABO blood groups because more research is required to fully understand the relationship between ABO blood groups and malaria parasitemia.

“…There is however evidence that other Blood groups were almost at the same level of morbidity, and thus there is need for assessment of relation between ABO and Malaria severity. Wolofsky et al [31], showed that there was no significant relationship between the prevalence of malaria and ABO blood groups and P. falciparum sporozoites invade and mature irrespective of the different ABO blood groups [32].…”

Aim:This study was carried out to determine association of malaria parasitaemia with ABO/Rhesus blood group. Methodology: A total of 150 blood samples were randomly selected and examined for the presence of Plasmodium falciparum using microscopy, blood group was determined using agglutination technique. Results: A total 92 (61.3%) were found to be infected with P. falciparum, the prevalence was highest among under five (0-10) than older groups, and higher among males 55 (63.2%) than female 37 (58.7%). Majority of the patients were rhesus positive 90(64.3%) while 2(20.0%) were rhesus negative. High percentage of blood group O, 70 (46.7%) was observed, followed by A 39(26.0%), B 34 (22.7%) and AB 7 (4.6%). All ABO blood groups showed varied presence of P. falciparum 51(72.8%), 22(56.4%), 17(50.0%) and 2(28.5%) for O, A, B and AB, respectively. Original Research ArticleParasite density was also higher in blood group O 70 (41.69%), followed by B 34 (30.67%), and A 39 (28.09%) then AB 7 (16.84%). Conclusion: It can be concluded that malaria parasitaemia is higher in males than female and in the younger ages than the older ones. Also Blood groups O are the most susceptible to malaria infection and AB are the least infected. However further investigation is needed to clearly establish the association ABO/Rhesus blood groups and P. falciparum infection and the need for intensified control methodology of the disease and education of the populace on the effect of rhesus negative cannot be over emphasized.
