Abstract: Parasitic analysis of stools, urines and blood, on inhabitants of two districts (Bongor and Banana I) in locality of Maroua, was carried out which permitted us to raise a blood interference predominance on mesoparasites. The mean rate of parasitized subjects by Plasmodium sp. is 55,33% against 41.33 and 8% respectively for the parasites present in stools and in urine. Investigations on the behaviour of the inhabitant`s studies and their physical setting environment led to the observation that Banana I is less healthful than Bongor. Plasmodia infestation functions in the two districts, because of differences of the people`s of life style in each part. For example houses of Bongor do not have a lot of variations contrary to those of Banana I. On the other hand, the infestation of interferences is owed to the behaviour of individual and the living conditions (insalubrities of the district). Infestation is meaningfully more elevated in Banana I, either an average of 50.7% of parasitized subjects against 32% in Bongor (Z = 2,11) to the risk of 5%, for parasites of the digestive tubes. This difference is also audible for the present interferences in the urinary system (Z = 5.6) with the respective rates of 12 and 4% to Banana I and Bongor.
