Abstract
The state of West Bengal, India, has a long coastline with the Bay of Bengal. No information exists regarding filarial epidemiology and its vector in these coastal areas. The present study was designed to assess the epidemiology of lymphatic filariasis and the role of available mosquitoes as its vector in eight coastal villages around Digha, West Bengal. Night blood samples of 4016 individuals were collected and each of them was examined clinically for any manifestations of the disease. Overall, microfilaria rate, mean microfilarial density and disease rate were 9.06%, 8.63% and 7.72%, respectively. The causative parasite was identified as Wuchereria bancrofti and Culex quinquefasciatus was incriminated as the vector responsible. Vector infection and infectivity rates were assessed to be 12.5% and 0.73%, respectively. The human blood index of human-house-frequenting vector population was 70%. Vector density, vector infection, infectivity rates and human blood index were higher in the rainy season in the study area. Overall, the filarial situation was bad and, as a measure, single-dose diethylcarbamazine citrate (6 mg/kg body weight) treatment was given to all the microfilariaemic patients. Night blood samples of the treated individuals were tested for microfilariae on days 10 and 365, which revealed interesting results.
