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.
1998年至2001年期间,在印度安得拉邦东戈达瓦里和西戈达瓦里地区9个国家丝虫病控制项目(NFCP)区域所属的45个农村地区,进行了夜间群体血液调查,以寻找班氏丝虫病的寄生虫学证据。微丝蚴患病率在2.9%至10.2%之间,20立方毫米血液样本中的微丝蚴密度为1至281条。本研究解释了自1997年以来实施群体药物投放且未采取杀幼虫和杀成虫控制措施的农村人口中微丝蚴动态变化趋势。
