Abstract:

The ABO and Rh blood groups are the most important blood groups despite the long list of several other blood groups discovered so far. The ABO and Rh blood group frequencies vary worldwide and are not found in equal frequencies even among ethnic groups. In this study, a cross-sectional survey was used to assess the phenotypic, allelic and genotypic frequency distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups and possible associations with intestinal parasitic infections in Babile district, East Hararghe, Eastern Ethiopia A total of 420 study subjects were participated in this study. A total of 420 blood samples and 420 stool samples were collected from study individuals from November 2016 to January 2017 G.C.

Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Chi-square test (χ2 ) was used to test whether the population is at Hardy Weinberg genetic equilibrium or not, and to assess the association between ABO blood groups and intestinal parasitic infections.
