A night blood survey was carried out among inhabitants aged over 1 year from the fifteen villages throughout Cheju-Do (Quelpart Island). Blood films from 2,139 persons were examined and 183(8.6 %) showed microfilariae, the incidences varying according to geographical sources are from 0.8 to 19.5 per cent. All the microfilariae found in this survey were of the nocturnal periodic Brugia malayi. The microfilarial density was 1.9 per cent of blood. The age and sex distributions of microfilaria rate in Cheju-Do were not distinctly different. On the other hand, the intradermal test using Dirofilaria antigen (FPT antigen) and clinical survey of filariasis were also undertaken in same areas of microfilaria survey. Out of 2,449 inhabitants examined 1,434(58.6 %) persons showed positive reaction of skin test, 503(20.5 %) persons have clinical manifestations and 112 (4.6 %) persons showed elephantiasis. It is assumed that Aedes togoi may be the most probable vector of B. malayi in the areas of Cheju-Do.
对济州岛(奎尔帕特岛)15个村庄的1岁以上居民进行了夜间血液调查。检查了2139人的血片,其中183人(8.6%)发现有微丝蚴,发病率因地理来源而异,从0.8%到19.5%不等。本次调查中发现的所有微丝蚴均为夜现周期性马来布鲁线虫。微丝蚴密度为血液的1.9%。济州岛微丝蚴率的年龄和性别分布没有明显差异。另一方面,在微丝蚴调查的相同区域也进行了使用恶丝虫抗原(FPT抗原)的皮内试验和丝虫病临床调查。在2449名接受检查的居民中,1434人(58.6%)皮试呈阳性反应,503人(20.5%)有临床表现,112人(4.6%)出现象皮肿。据推测,东乡伊蚊可能是济州岛地区马来布鲁线虫最可能的传播媒介。
