To collect and analyze the materials on research and control of lymphatic filariasis in Tengzhou city during the disease elimination program over the 40 years.

After the criteria of transmission interruption (basic elimination) of filariasis were met in 1974, re-examination and treatment for the cases with microfilaremia, and parasitological and entomological surveillance were conducted. In 1995, filariasis elimination in the whole city was declared.

总结滕州市实现消除淋巴丝虫病的技术措施。
收集并分析滕州市在40年疾病消除计划期间淋巴丝虫病研究与控制的资料。
按照国家丝虫病控制和消除标准,开展流行病学调查、全民血检以及全民服用乙胺嗪(DEC)药盐进行群体服药。1974年达到丝虫病传播阻断(基本消除)标准后,对微丝蚴血症患者进行复查和治疗,并开展寄生虫学和昆虫学监测。1995年,宣布全市消除丝虫病。
以消除传染源为重点的综合措施被证明对阻断丝虫病传播有效。持续不懈的监测对于实现消除丝虫病目标是必要的。
