| filariasis control in rural areas through detection and treatment with diethylcarbamazine. | a pilot study for control of bancroftian filariasis through detection and treatment of microfilaria (mf) carriers and filaria disease cases with diethylcarbamazine (dec) undertaken in the rural areas of srikakulam and vizianagaram of andhra pradesh showed that this chemotherapeutic method of control of filaria in rural areas is feasible and acceptable to society. during first round of detection and treatment 20,300 mf carriers (90.6 per cent of detected) and 6,588 disease persons (86 per cent of ... | 1989 | 2700480 |

| a baseline study of rural bancroftian filariasis in southern india. | 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 be ... | 2004 | 15689070 |
| relative abundance of culex quinquefasciatus (diptera: culicidae) with reference to infection and infectivity rate from the rural and urban areas of east and west godavari districts of andhra pradesh, india. | this paper describes the seasonal abundance of culex quinquefasciatus in the rural and urban areas of the east and west godavari districts (egdt and wgdt) of andhra pradesh, india. the per man-hour density (pmhd) was collected from seven units in egdt and two units in wgdt, which comprised rural and urban areas. the highest infection and infectivity rates were found in the rural areas of rajahmundry (43.6%) and amalapuram (13.2%) respectively. in urban areas, the highest infection and infectivit ... | 2002 | 12757213 |
