The islands of Batan and Rapu Rapu in southeastern Luzon, Philippines, were surveyed for filariasis from November 1984 to May 1985. Microfilariae of Bancroftian filariasis were detected in 10.5% of the people over one year of age. Microfilarial rates and intensity of infection were the same for males and females. The highest rates for both sexes were in the 56- to 60-year-old age group. Aedes poicilius, which breeds in abaca and banana plants, was found to be very anthropophilic, comprising 96.5% of the mosquitoes biting man. This mosquito bites most frequently in the middle of the night. Dissections showed that 1.0% of Ae. poicilius were infective with third-stage larvae, and each infective mosquito contained a mean average of 5.6 larvae.
1984年11月至1985年5月，对菲律宾吕宋岛东南部的巴丹岛和拉普拉普岛进行了丝虫病调查。在一岁以上人群中，班氏丝虫病微丝蚴的检出率为10.5%。男性和女性的微丝蚴率及感染强度相同。两性中最高发病率出现在56至60岁年龄组。在麻蕉和香蕉植株中繁殖的波氏伊蚊被发现具有很强的嗜人性，叮咬人类的蚊子中96.5%是这种蚊子。这种蚊子最常在午夜叮咬。解剖显示，1.0%的波氏伊蚊感染了三期幼虫，每只感染蚊子平均含有5.6条幼虫。
