UNDERSTANDING SERUM ELECTROPHORESIS IN BETA GLOBULIN DURING THE STUDY OF ASYMPTOMATIC MALARIA AMONG STUDENT AT LADOKE AKINTOLA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
Malaria has plagued humans for thousands of years with evidence of its existence dating back to
ancient civilizations in Egypt, Greece and Rome. The disease was initially believed to be caused
by bad air, hence its name (“mal + aria meaning “bad air”). However, in 1880, French army
surgeon Charles Louise Alphonse Laveran discovered the parasite responsible for malaria which
is Plasmodium. Malaria remains a significant global health concern, affecting millions of people
worldwide. Despite progress in control measures, malaria persists in tropical and subtropical
regions, particularly in Africa. This disease has devastating consequences on individuals,
communities, and economies.
