Abstract:

Lymphatic filariasis is a major public health problem affecting about 120 million people all over the world. India has a significant share in it. The effective cure and control of the disease depends on the topographical, ecological and assessment of epidemiological situations of the endemic area; they include the prevalence of the disease transmitting vectors and their control managements. In the present survey, it was found that the filarial endemicity rate was 6.0% and the rate of infection was above 1.5.

Keywords:

Filariasis, field survey, microfilaria, endemicity.
