Description |
Night mass blood surveys were carried out for parasitological evidence of Bancroftian
filariasis in 45 rural areas belonging to 9 National Filaria Control Program (NFCP) zones of East
Godavari and West Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh, India during the period 1998 to 2001.
Mf prevalence range between 2.9 to 10.2%, and mf intensities in 20 mm3 blood samples ranged from
1-281. The present study explains the trend of microfilaria dynamics in the rural population, where
mass drug delivery has been implemented since 1997, and anti-larivicidal and adulticidal control measures have not been adopted.
