To review the process of lymphatic filariasis elimination in Jiangsu Province, and summarize the control experience.
The data of epidemic status, control and surveillance of lymphatic filariasis were collected and analyzed in Jiangsu Province from 1950s to 1990s.
Lymphatic filariasis was endemic in 71 counties (cities) among all 75 counties (cities) in Jiangsu Province. Filariasis bancrofti distributed widely in the province, and in some areas of the south of Jiangsu, there were filariasis bancrofti and Brug' s filariasis co-existing. Before 1971, the microfilaria rate (mfr) in some areas had ever reached 20. 15% , from 1979, large scale control programme was carried out and the mfr in all endemic villages decreased to below 1% , and in 1989, the rate dropped to 0.016%. By 2001, the whole regions of the province reached the criteria of filariasis elimination.
The elimination of lymphatic filariasis in Jiangsu Province provides valuable experience for lymphatic filariasis control in other areas.
回顾江苏省消除淋巴丝虫病的进程，总结防治经验。
收集并分析江苏省20世纪50年代至90年代淋巴丝虫病的流行状况、防治及监测资料。
江苏省75个县（市）中，有71个县（市）曾流行淋巴丝虫病。班氏丝虫病在全省广泛分布，在苏南部分地区，存在班氏丝虫病与马来丝虫病混合流行。1971年前，部分地区微丝蚴率曾达20.15%，1979年起开展大规模防治，各流行村微丝蚴率降至1%以下，1989年降至0.016%。至2001年，全省达到丝虫病消除标准。
江苏省消除淋巴丝虫病为其他地区控制淋巴丝虫病提供了宝贵经验。
