Cross-sectional analysis showed genotype AA has highest malaria prevalence, while SS indicates resistance.

Genotype AA patients exhibited the highest malaria prevalence at 72.38%, indicating significant susceptibility.
Among the 606 volunteers assessed, carriers of genotype AS had a prevalence of 13.28%, pointing to a moderate risk.
No malaria parasites were found in patients with genotype SS, highlighting complete resistance to infection.
The findings suggest targeted malaria control interventions are crucial for those with genotypes AA and AS.
