Prolonged persistence of residual Wuchereria bancrofti infection after cessation of diethylcarbamazine-fortified salt programme
Tropical Medicine & International Health, 06/24/09
Ramaiah KD et al. - To eliminate the residual microfilaraemia, the health department detected and treated Mf carriers from 1987 to 2005 and mass-administered drugs in 2004 and 2005. These surveys showed an overall Mf rate of 0.46% in the high-risk urban areas and 0.18% in the rural areas; none of the sampled children was positive for Ag. These groups and areas should be targeted with rigorous intervention measures such as mass drug administration to eliminate the residual infection.
