| Abstract | ||||
| Malaria has been a fundamental, shape-shifting player in African human and natural landscapes and their history of interactions. Malaria spreads as a result of human contact with female anopheles mosquitos, whose habitat interacts with human populations. Human blood nourishes the mosquitos’ eggs and allows larvae to survive to the adult stage. Furthermore, the adults carry the plasmodia protozoan that causes the fever and symptoms in humans, who serve as hosts for the next mosquito vector bites. Biochemical and hematological (RBC, WBC, platelet levels and hemoglobin) parameters were evaluated in this study. A total of 200 patients with complete biological data were included in analysis with different ages ranged from 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, & 66. Infected participants of both sexes were 12 and uninfected of both sexes were 188. Moreover, 180 lived in Niger and 20 lived in Chad, 131 lived in rural areas and 69 lived in urban areas. 136 of them were uneducated and 64 were educated, respectively. Results from this analysis in the present study showed that the mean RBC value was 5.21cells/μl and the mean WBC value was 6.80cells/μl. The mean platelet count was (262,100 platelets/mm3 of blood) and the average hemoglobin level of the infested participants was observed (13.58 g/dl). | ||||
