Studies on parasites in fish have been a great concern for over a decade now due to disease conditions, overall nutritive devaluation and huge economic loss that resulted from parasitic infections. Added to the potential of infected fish to be a source of infections to man and other animals. The present study is, however, designed to ascertain the parasitic infection in fish from Asa Dam, Kwara State, Nigeria. Atotal number of 196 fish belonging to 10 families and 18 species were examined for helminth infection with an overall prevalence rate of 31.10%. Parasites were recovered from the skin, gills, body cavity, intestine, and liver of the fish host. Trematode was the most prevalent parasite group found in the fish host and represented 79.5% of the isolated parasites, followed by Cestode (7.14%), and Acanthocephalan was the least group (0.4%) recovered. Most of the Trematodes were recovered from T. zillii and H. fasciatus (109 and 56 respectively), while C. anguillaris, C. senegalensis, C. gariepinus and C. obscura have no cases of trematode. 2.55% of the cestodes were recovered from C. gariepinus while the overall index of infection was significantly high in T. zillii (48.90%) and H. fasciatus (40.44%). The overall prevalence of parasites examined in relation to sex indicates that males had 33.7% females had 28.4% prevalence accordingly with no significant difference (P> 0.05). This finding indicates that there is a high parasitic load as evident by the infection rate on the examined fishes, as such adequate measures should be put in place to reduce and prevent the parasites from spreading.

Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains a leading public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa and its control is seriously challenged by drug resistance. Resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine is mediated by point mutations in genes encoding the target enzymes dihydrofolate reductase (pfdhfr) and dihydropteroate synthase (pfdhps). Blood from a total of 176 subjects aged 11-19 years from Ilorin East and Irepodun Local Government areas (LGAs) was examined for mutant alleles of the Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at codon 51 and 108 respectively. Rapid Diagnostic Test kits were used for the malaria test. Of the 176 participants, 73 (41.5%) subjects tested positive for malaria parasite while 95 (54.0%) tested negative. For both N51I and S108N SNPscreening, mutant alleles were dominant over the wild type. The Iponrin community (Ilorin East LGA) recorded the highest percentage of mutant alleles 14 (33.33%) of the N51I SNP, while the Igbonla community (Irepodun LGA) had the least number of mutant alleles 8 (19.04%). On the other hand, the Alakuko community recorded the highest number of alleles 14 (31.80%) for S108N mutant while the Igbonla community (Irepodun LGA) had the least number of mutant alleles 8 (18.18%). There was widespread pyrimethamine resistance among the studied population and the malaria parasite remains persistent among the studied population. Therefore, there is a need for monitoring antimalarial drug resistance in Nigeria for prompt management of the antimalarial drug resistance menace.

In developing nations, anaemia is one of the most prevalent medical conditions. It has long been known that parasite infection during pregnancy is one of the main causes of anaemia and an elevated risk of maternal mortality. To ascertain the prevalence and risk factors related to parasite infections and anaemia among pregnant women receiving prenatal care in some selected public health facilities in Kaduna State, Nigeria, an eleven-month cross- sectional study of 180 consenting pregnant women was conducted from February to December 2017. A standardized questionnaire was used to interview the sampled pregnant women. Stool and blood samples of each consented pregnant woman were collected. Formal-ether sedimentation technique, thin and thick blood smears and haematocrit packed cell volume capillary methods were used to screen intestinal helminth parasites, plasmodium species and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) respectively. The result obtained showed parasitic infections prevalence of 102(56.7%) among the study population. Prevalence of Plasmodium species, hookworm, Ascaris lumbricoides and those with co-infection all occurred at 47.2%, 16.7%, 17.8% and 25.0% respectively. Age, educational level, trimester and parity were all significant predictors of Plasmodium species prevalence (p<0.005). Similarly, parity and educational level were significantly (p<0.005) associated with the prevalence of intestinal parasites and co-infection. Anaemia was present in 40.0% of the examined pregnant women. Trimester and educational level were highly significant (p<0.001) predictors of anaemia among the sampled pregnant women. Plasmodium species were the most common parasitic species associated with anaemia as 43.1% of Plasmodium species-infected pregnant women had anaemia compared to those with intestinal helminth infection (30.6%) and co-infection (13.3%). However, statistical analysis revealed a significant association (p<0.05) between the prevalence of anaemia and intestinal helminth infection. Therefore, measures such as improved sanitation and health education are needed to lessen the prevalence of parasitic infections and parasite-related anaemia in the study area.

African trypanosomosis remains one of the major diseases affecting food security and human healthy living in sub-Saharan Africa. This study screened domesticated animals for the presence of pathogenic trypanosomes in 1,050 slaughtered animals comprising 858 and 100 cattle respectively from Zango and Kawo abattoirs and 92 camels from Zango as Kawo abattoir neither slaughters nor sell camel meat. Both abattoirs are government-owned and located in Kaduna metropolis, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The animals examined were sourced from Bauchi, Yobe, Katsina, Kaduna, Kano, and Chad Republic. Blood samples were collected from each animal at the point of slaughter and examined using the buffy coat technique and Leishman-stained thick film for trypanosome identification. Packed cell volume (PCV) determination was conducted to assess the level of anaemia. Results indicated that 25 cattle and 2 camels (27) had an overall trypanosome infection rate of 2.57%. The trypanosomes observed were mainly Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma congolense, and Trypanosoma vivax. This study showed that sources of livestock slaughtered at various abattoirs can be a useful indicator in quantifying trypanosomosis risk. Continuous sensitization and awareness creation among the herders at the grass-root level is recommended for effective disease management towards increased livestock production and productivity required to sustain the rural economy and improve the livelihoods of the local populace.

The World Health Organization recommends parasite-based diagnosis of malaria before the administration of artemisinin based combination therapy (ACT). Trained community medicine distributors (CMDs) constitute a credible option in healthcare delivery in resource-limited and hard-to-reach settings. This study evaluated the performance of mRDT, microscopy and PCR in the diagnosis of malaria among febrile under-5 children in rural South-western Nigeria. One thousand and forty-three (1,043) febrile children aged 3 – 59 months were enrolled on this study as part of a larger one. The CMDs collected finger prick blood samples and performed mRDT, prepared thick blood smears for malaria microscopy and blood spots on filter paper for PCR assays. Malaria was detected in 78.7%, 69.2% and 55% by mRDT, PCR and microscopy, respectively. The sensitivity of mRDT was 88.2% versus 92.5% while specificity was 42.2% versus 38.2% against PCR and microscopy, respectively. The PPV, NPV and diagnostic accuracy were 88.2% versus 64.8, 61.7% versus 80.6% and 74.0% versus 68.1% respectively. Levels of agreement with PCR and microscopy were fair (κ-value = 0.336 versus 0.322). PCR detected 97.8% P. falciparum, 4.4% P. malariae and 2.5% P. ovale. Trained community medicine distributors can effectively performed malaria rapid diagnostic tests to guide appropriate home management of malaria in resource-limited settings.

This study investigated the effects of different n-6:n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratios in pig diets using vegetable oil supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and fatty acid composition in the longissimus dorsi muscle (LM) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of pigs. Fiftyfour cross-bred growing pigs (Large White × Landrace × Duroc; 45.03 ± 1.72 kg) were randomly assigned to one of three isoenergetic diets: the 1) basal diet (control), 2) RAPO diet (diet supplemented with 4.5% rapeseed oil), and 3) MIXO diet (diet supplemented with 2.25% rapeseed oil and 2.25% linseed oil), with n-6:n-3 PUFA ratios of approximately 13:1, 7:1, and 2:1, respectively. The experiment lasted 42 days. The RAPO and MIXO diets did not affect the growth performance and carcass characteristics of pigs, while the content of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TGs), and glucose (GLU) in the serum decreased substantially. Intramuscular fat (IMF) content increased by 19.25% and 20.11% in the LM of pigs fed the RAPO and MIXO diets, respectively, and lower cooking loss and drip loss of meat were observed only in pigs fed the MIXO diet. The RAPO and MIXO diets decreased the stearic acid and palmitoleic acid levels, increased the total PUFA levels (including those of α-linolenic and linoleic acid), and decreased the n-6:n-3 PUFA ratios in LM and SAT. However, the MIXO diet was more effective in improving the fatty acid composition. A mixed oil diet with an n6:n-3 PUFA ratio of 2:1 is an effective measure for improving meat quality.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: The concept of deradicalization itself has been running for the first time since 2005 but there is no guide or patent concept for this program. The effect given through the deradicalization program must be recognized is not optimal, but this does not necessarily make deradicalization a failed innovation, keep in mind that the existence of the deradicalization program is an answer to the handling of terrorism that is considered hard and intimidative (hard approach), while the more subtle ways of dialogue and religious approach (soft approach) is considered also able to neutralize the values of terrorism in someone who is already radical.Purposes of the Research: The real purpose of de-radicalization in general is to prevent repeated terror incidents by former prisoners, because the National Police itself has the task of being able to detect and prevent acts of violence that insurgents. Methods of the Research: The research method used is normative legal research with a statute legal approach and a conceptual approachResults of the Research: The deradicalization Program is not a program that can be assessed directly as a failed program, deradicalization must be remembered as a reflection of the bad and hard handling (hard approach) so that the form of humanism and respect for human rights can actually be reflected by the existence of deradicalization, with the existence of deradicalization also illustrates that the perpetrators of terror or ex-prisoners have hope to return to normal life, also indicates that the government pays attention to those who commit this crime.

Published: April 2023

Purpose: Thirty three blood group systems have recently received recognition from the International Society of Blood Transfusion. Numerous types of antigens have been found on the red cell membranes in addition to the ABO and Rhesus systems. One of the few significant tests that the anesthesiologist orders during the perioperative period is blood grouping and cross matching. To avoid difficulties associated with transfusions, it is crucial to have a thorough awareness of the blood group system, their clinical importance, typing and cross-matching tests and current implications. To explore the various blood group systems, their clinical significance, and their relevance in medical practice, including transfusion medicine, prenatal care and genetic testing
Methodology: Relevant databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus to search for literature related to blood group system were used for this study. Search strategy including keywords related to barium studies, cross-sectional imaging and low resource economies. This may include terms such as blood group system, ABO blood group, clinical significance, medical practice. Search terms in combination with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) are used to retrieve relevant articles.
Findings: Undoubtedly blood group systems is highly relevant in medical practice so as to prevent haemolytic transfusion reaction and alloimmunization of individual blood which can result to death of infants and other individuals. As beneficial as blood transfusion is blood group system of the donor and recipient must be identified to make the blood transfusion process safe. Blood group systems also gives clinical insights in medical practice which make disease diagnosis and treatment easier to approach.
Recommendations: Health care providers should be trained to properly identify and type blood samples and blood banks should have appropriate quality control measures in place to ensure the accuracy of blood typing and cross matching. Healthcare providers involved in organ transplantation should be familiar with the blood group compatibility guidelines and communicate effectively with blood banks to ensure the availability of compatible donor organs.
