Background The World Health Organization launched the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis in 2000, which aimed at eradicating the disease by 2030. This goal depends on community mass drug administration and essential care.

Using a socioecological model, this study examined barriers to treatment and support for people living with lymphatic filariasis in Uganda’s Buvuma and Napak districts.

The epidemic thresholds known as the reproduction number and equilibria for the model are determined and stabilities analysed. Results from the analysis of the reproduction number suggest that treatment will somehow contribute to a reduction in lymphatic filariasis cases, but what it does not show is the magnitude of the reduction, a part answered by the numerical simulations. Numerical simulations show that even when all lymphatic filariasis cases displaying elephantiasis sy

People who live in tropical regions in remote rural villages near rivers and streams are mostly affected by filariasis. The vector of filariasis is the mosquito. It transmits the worm it took from the blood of an infected person to another person. The nematode act by suppressing the immune system of the host.

Abstract:

National Filaria Control Programme has been running in the country since the year 1955 with the strategy of parasite detection, treatment and vector control mainly in urban areas. In the year 1997, the fiftieth World Health Assembly Resolution listed Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) for elimination by 2020 which now has been aligned with Sustainable Development Goal to be achieved by 2030. India also started its campaign to eliminate LF in 2004. The main strategy of the elimination programme is the Annual Mass Drug Administration (MDA) to progressively reduce and ultimately interrupt LF transmission.

Abstract:

Lymphatic filariasis is a systemic disease arising from infestation with filarial worms. The species that commonly infest the lymphatic vessels include Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi. The larval stages of the worms are transmitted by biting mosquitoes or flies. Wuchereria bancrofti is transmitted by night biting anopheline mosquitoes. The infection is common in tropical Africa. The adult worms infiltrate the lymphatics and produce large numbers of microfilaria into the circulation. The species B. malayi is inoculated by Mansonia or Anopheles mosquitoes and is known to cause less severe

Abstract:

Lymphatic filariasis, commonly known as elephantiasis is an infectious disease caused by parasitic filarial worms that are transmitted by mosquitoes. The global program to control and eliminate lymphatic filariasis is Mass drug administration (MDA). Brebes Regency is one of the endemic areas of filariasis in Central Java Province. MDA program has been implemented from 2017 to 2021. However, the results have not reached the national target. The level of cadres knowledge about filariasis MDA in Luwunggede community health center has never been studied. The purpose of this study is to describe kn
