| filariasis eradication on kinmen proper, kinmen (quemoy) islands, republic of china. | a control program for bancroftian filariasis was conducted on kinmen proper from 1970 to 1982. the combined method of mass chemotherapy with diethylcarbamazine (dec) for microfilarial carriers and larvicide with sumithion for mosquitoes was used on the island for 3 years (1974-76). the microfilarial rate and microfilarial density decreased from 8.4% and 14.6/20 microns in 1970-73 to 0.7% and 5.3/20 microns in 1976. the infection rate, infective rate, and larval density of culex quinquefasciatus, ... | 1990 | 1971493 |
| eradication of bancroftian filariasis by diethylcarbamazine-medicated common salt on little kinmen (liehyu district), kinmen (quemoy) islands, republic of china. | since bancroftian filariasis constituted a major public health problem on little kinmen (liehyu district), kinmen (quemoy) islands, a control programme was conducted on this island from 1970 to 1982. a pre-control survey recorded a microfilarial rate (mfr) of 9.6%, a night blood microfilarial density (mfd) of 14.4/20 microliters blood, and a clinical rate of 26.2%. culex quinquefasciatus was found to be the only vector of the parasitosis on the island, with an infection rate (ir) with all filari ... | 1990 | 2184787 |

| diethylcarbamazine salt in the control of lymphatic filariasis. | where lymphatic filariasis has diminished since about the 1950s, it has most frequently, though not always, been a direct result of chemotherapeutic intervention against the parasite. diethylcarbamazine (dec), a well-established drug, has been the single agent of chemotherapeutic control and has been successful in a wide variety of regimens. this paper reviews the experience with one strategy: long-term, low-dose treatment through dec-medicated common salt. diethylcarbamazine-medicated salt play ... | 1994 | 8024057 |
| follow-up investigations on clinical manifestations after filariasis eradication by diethylcarbamazine medicated common salt on kinmen (quemoy) islands, republic of china. | from may to december 1993, a house-by-house survey was conducted on the changes in clinical manifestations of filariasis among 814 pre-control mf carriers in 88 villages of five towns/districts on kinmen islands. four hundred and sixteen (51%) pre-control mf carriers were examined physically with history taking. the rates of disappearance, improvement, no change, aggravation, and new occurrence were 72% (229), 6% (26), 14% (59), 6% (24) and 2% (8), respectively. the rates of disappearance and im ... | 1995 | 8544232 |
