Background & objectives: The study was designed: (i) to determine the prevalence of malariaparasites; (ii) to determine the relationship between parasitaemia and age/sex; (iii) to correlate thePCV levels with parasitaemia; and (iv) to determine the influence of protection against naturaltransmission on the prevalence of malaria.Methods: Participants were recruited at the Plateau State Human Virology Research Laboratory(PLASVIREC), Robert Gallo House at the Plateau State Specialist Hospital, Jos and grouped into:(i) Malaria and HIV co-infection group (n = 64); and (ii) HIV infected group without concurrentmalaria infection (n = 136). Standard laboratory procedures were used for the HIV and Plasmodiumparasites screening, malaria parasite density, and packed cell volume.Results: The results showed a significant difference (p |
