In a situation where filariasis and malaria are transmitted by the same vector, as seen here in the Solomon Islands, the Malaria Eradication Programme aimed at controlling the vector, was found to have an effect on both diseases. In an area of Choiseul island first surveyed by the author in 1970, three follow-up surveys were conducted--in 1974, 1975 and 1976. These showed a progressive decrease in persons infected. When the densities, especially the median microfilarial counts, were expressed as percentage values of the pre-spray survey, there was found to be a proportional decrease over eight years. It is possible that the Anopheline vector needs to be reduced less for the cessation of transmission of filariasis than for malaria. A theoretical ratio was calculated and supporting field evidence presented.
在像所罗门群岛这里所见到的，丝虫病和疟疾由同一种病媒传播的情况下，旨在控制病媒的疟疾根除计划被发现对这两种疾病都有影响。在作者于1970年首次调查的乔伊索岛的一个地区，于1974年、1975年和1976年进行了三次后续调查。这些调查显示受感染的人数逐渐减少。当密度，尤其是微丝蚴计数中位数，表示为喷洒前调查的百分比值时，发现在八年时间里呈比例下降。有可能对于丝虫病传播的停止而言，按蚊病媒需要减少的程度比疟疾要小。计算了一个理论比率并提供了支持性的实地证据。
