We sought to determine if there was any relationship between ABO blood groups and susceptibility to malaria and urinary schistosomiasis. In Epe and outlying villages in south-western Nigeria, we examined 681 people for their blood groups, malaria parasitemia and for the presence of Schistosoma haematobium eggs in their urine specimens. Two hundred and sixty-nine individuals were parasitemic for falciparum malaria, 97 subjects had urinary schistosomiasis and 56 people carried concurrent infections of both parasites. Frequencies of the blood groups were 56.68% for group 0, 22.32% for group B, 18.5% for group A and 2.50% for the AB group. The rates of infection with malaria and/or schistosomiasis showed no significant association with the frequencies of the ABO blood groups.
