“…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.…”

“…Therefore, we considered blood group O to be prone to less severe malaria, although no statistically significant relation was found. Toure et al [14] and Hegde et al [11] found the same phenomenon. Compared with other blood groups, blood group O is less prone to rosetting, which results in reduced complications in malaria patients [11].…”

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.

“…The 'A' and 'B' blood group tri saccharides are thought to operate as receptors and are a crucial factor in rosetting on uninfected RBCs. They bind to parasite rosetting ligands such PfEMP-1 and trigger sequestering [69]. In comparison to blood groups A, B, and AB, RBCs of blood group 'O' do not express trisaccharide, and rosettes generated by infected 'O' blood group RBCs are smaller and more easily destroyed.…”

Human beings are sometime expose to the same to predisposing factors of a given infectious disease, but the outcome in terms of disease manifestation differs greatly. This variation is mainly attributed to the genetic makeup of such individuals; this is because human genetic has long been associated with the variation in susceptibility to various infectious diseases, which is termed as genetic resistance. Therefore the aim of this paper was to review the state of knowledge on genetic resistance associated with malaria infection. Genetic resistance to malaria can be describe as an inherited alteration or changes in the genetic material of humans specifically DNA molecule and other vital biomolecules which increases the chances of resistance to malaria and thus, result in an increased survival of individuals with those genetic alterations. In addition such changes also affect the general wellbeing and survival of the parasite to the extent that the parasite cannot even multiply or replicate itself while in such infected erythrocyte. This is because such alteration in the DNA molecule interferes with some of the vital chemical and biochemical processes of the parasite (Plasmodim spp). Therefore, several genetic disorders and or trait which include: Sickle cell disease, Glocose-6-Phosphatedehyrogenase deficiency, Pyruvate Kinase deficiency, Duffy antigen, Ovalocytocytosis, Thalassemia and ABO blood group are known to offer special protection against malaria disease in individuals who possessed at least one of such disorders or trait.

The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of malaria infection among individuals of different blood groups. Materials and Methods:The study enrolled individuals aged six months and above, presenting at outpatient departments with symptoms of malaria and/or testing positive for uncomplicated malaria by rapid diagnostic test after providing written informed consent or assent. A total of 200 participants were enrolled in the study. Results:The present study consisted of a greater percentage of females compared to males, with the bulk of the participants being youngsters aged above 5 years. 45% of the individuals were classified as having the O blood type, with the A blood group being the next most common. The laboratory data, which included leukocyte counts, haemoglobin levels, platelet counts, and C-reactive protein levels, did not show any statistically significant differences between malaria patients and ABO blood types. The prevalence of blood type O was shown to be the least common among malaria patients with haemolyticuremic syndrome and cerebral malaria. However, no statistically significant association was seen between particular issues and ABO blood types. Conclusion: Ultimately, there were no fatalities seen among the individuals diagnosed with malaria in this research investigation. There was no discernible correlation between ABO blood types and malaria infection. Nevertheless, individuals with blood group O have a higher prevalence of less severe malaria, making it the most prevalent blood type among malaria sufferers. Thus, individuals with blood type O who have malaria seem to have less severe clinical manifestations.
