- W1992481520 abstract "Parasitological, clinical and entomological surveys for lymphatic filariasis were carried out in 6 villages and 3 towns on the coast of Ghana. Few or no filarial infections were observed in the towns or in the villages east of Accra. However, Wuchereria bancrofti microfilaraemia was common in the 4 western villages, with overall prevalences of 9.2%–25.4% and overall microfilariae (mf) geometric mean intensities of 321–1172 mf/mL of blood. In the same villages, hydrocele affected 8.5%–27.9% of adult males (aged ⩾20 years), and 5.6%–6.6% of adult individuals had elephantiasis (mainly of the legs). In general, the patterns of filarial infection and disease in the endemic villages resembled those observed in endemic villages in the coastal part of East Africa, with the exception that in the Ghanaian focus more females than males were affected by elephantiasis. Entomological surveys revealed that Anopheles gambioe s.l. and A. funestus were vectors of filariasis in the endemic villages. Only negligible prevalences of microfilaraemia were observed in town communities located close to highly endemic villages. Control of filariasis in this area is difficult with presently available measures, and new control tools, especially development of new drug regimens for mass treatment, are greatly needed." @default.
