Abstract

Background

Malaria is a Zoonotic disease, worldwide in distribution and caused by different species of plasmodium. It is a major cause of sickness and mortality in developing countries including Pakistan. This study was carried with the aim to find out the prevalence of malaria and to aware the people about this disease.

Methods

The study was carried out in district charsadda. 120 blood samples were collected from suspects both male and female, during the period of March 2022 to September 2022 and were analyzed for CBC and for Microscopic examination.

Results

Out of these 120 samples 12(10%) were found positive and 108(90%) were negative. The prevalence of malaria was more in the month of June and July. The infection was high in male (13.3%) as compared to female (6.6%). The prevalence was more in rural areas 8(13.3%) than in urban areas 4(6.6%).

Conclusion

The Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Platelets and Red Blood Cells were found more affected in positive samples as compared to other parameters. The present study will help the malarial control programs to focus on rural areas. The Plasmodium vivax is more common in the study area.

疟疾疑似患者的血液学参数评估：横断面研究

背景疟疾是一种人畜共患病，分布于世界各地，由不同种类的疟原虫引起。在包括巴基斯坦在内的发展中国家，疟疾是导致疾病和死亡的主要原因。本研究旨在了解疟疾的流行情况，并提高人们对该疾病的认识。在 2022 年 3 月至 2022 年 9 月期间，从男女嫌疑人身上采集了 120 份血样，并进行了全血细胞计数和显微镜检查。疟疾流行率在 6 月和 7 月较高。男性感染率（13.3%）高于女性（6.6%）。结论与其他参数相比，阳性样本中的血红蛋白、血细胞比容、血小板和红细胞受到的影响更大。本研究将有助于疟疾防治计划将重点放在农村地区。在研究地区，间日疟原虫更为常见。

期刊介绍： Parasite Epidemiology and Control is an Open Access journal. There is an increasing amount of research in the parasitology area that analyses the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. This epidemiology of parasite infectious diseases is predominantly studied in human populations but also spans other major hosts of parasitic infections and as such this journal will have a broad remit. We will focus on the major areas of epidemiological study including disease etiology, disease surveillance, drug resistance and geographical spread and screening, biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects in clinical trials for both human and other animals. We will also look at the epidemiology and control of vector insects. The journal will also cover the use of geographic information systems (Epi-GIS) for epidemiological surveillance which is a rapidly growing area of research in infectious diseases. Molecular epidemiological approaches are also particularly encouraged.
