8. EVALUATION OF SERUM PROTEIN LEVELS AND CIC LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH CEREBRAL MALARIA
INTRODUCTION
Globally, Malaria is likely one of the first illnesses known to humans and has had a significant influence on the development of our culture. According to Margret & Suzzan (2019), the history of malaria and the horrific consequences it has on humans go...
9. MOSQUITO AS THE BASIC MALARIA VECTOR

ABSTRACT
The incidence of the infestation of plasmodium species (P.Falciparum, P. Vivax, P.Ovale, and P. alaria) which causes human malaria in Uyo metropolis was conducted at Uyo general hospital using their patients. Thick and thin, smear of blood were made and examined after proper st...
11. THE EFFECT OF MOSQUITO ON MAN
Abstract
The significance and effects of mosquito on man can never be overemphasized. No human being or other primates can live without good health, as the “adage” says that health is wealth. The aim of this study is to find out or reveal the effect of mosqu...

14. DESIGN, SYNTHESIS, ANTIMALARIAL EVALUATION AND COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES OF SOME CHALCONE DERIVATIVES
ABSTRACT
Inspired by the previous findings on the structural requirements needed for good antimalarial activity by chalcones against Plasmodium proteases, seventeen chalcone derivatives were designed and synthesized using Claisen-Schmidt condensation of appropriate aldehydes and methyl...
15. ANTIMALARIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY AND DRUG RESISTANCE CHARACTERIZATION STUDIES OF PLASMODIUM SPECIES ISOLATES FROM PATIENTS IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
About half of Nigerian population experience at least one episode of malaria per year, resulting in high morbidity and mortality and loss of economic value. Retrospective study of the profile of malarial patients and the antimalarial drugs prescribed at Umaru Musa Yaradua memor...
16. STUDY ON THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF ARTEMETHER/LUMEFANTRINE IN THE TREATMENT OF UNCOMPLICATED PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM MALARIA AMONGST CHILDREN IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Globally, malaria is a major health concern because it causes high morbidity and mortality particularly in children under 5 years because of their low immunity. The development of resistance to chloroquine and sulphodoxine/pyrimethamine in many parts of the world has further wo...
