Popis: Background & objectives : Considerations of both inter-pregnancy intervals and malaria parasitaemiamay help in understanding some aspects of susceptibility and pregnancy outcomes in malaria endemicareas.Methods : Pregnant women with asymptomatic malaria parasitaemia were recruited and divided intogroups based on their inter-pregnancy intervals and malaria specific-IgG, body mass index, and birthweights were studied in the groups.Results : The results showed that the P. falciparum specific-IgG concentration (f = 3.52, p
