Ratio out-of Plasmodium variety and chance items related to Plasmodium falciparum disease
Most infections were caused by Plasmodium vivax: 85,124 (73.3%), Plasmodium falciparum: 25,201 (21.7%), or both: 5726 (4.9%). Plasmodium malariae was only identified in 46 patients (0.04%), from eight ethnic groups, all of them from Amazonas, and mostly infected in Alto Orinoco (31 cases), and Manapiare (8 cases). The Yanomami accounted for 58.7% of all Plasmodium. malariae cases. While Plasmodium vivax was the dominant species in all the states, the proportion of Plasmodium falciparum cases in Amazonas and Bolivar (22% and 21.4%, respectively) was more than twice that in Sucre state (8.6%, X 2 = df = 2, p < 0.01).
The proportion of patients with Plasmodium falciparum or mixed infection was also higher in two ethnic groups: the Hoti (42.9%) and the Yanomami (41.5.%), compared to the rest of the indigenous population (26.1%, X 2 = , df = 1, p < 0.01>
To test possible grounds for so it huge difference, the chances ratios (OR) for Plasmodium falciparum against. Plasmodium vivax problems had been calculated considering cultural category, or any other offered variables like profession, gender, generation, and you may state regarding problems, results are described into the Desk step 3.
