Abstract
The results of a 10-year follow-up of
In the DEC-treated villages 92% of the mf carriers were negative one year after the treatment: the mf rate fell from 18.2% to 3.3%, the median mf density (MfD—50) changed from 28.4 to 5.2 mf/20 mm3 blood, and the infectivity rate in
Thus, selective DEC treatment of detected mf carriers is an excellent control measure for human filariasis as it is readily acceptable by the inhabitants and is cost-effective. Suitable intervals between treatments would be 8-10 years in areas where the mf prevalence rate is 10% or over, and 12-15 years where the prevalence is less than 10%.
