Abstract
- Interviews and physical examinations for filarial disease were conducted in Howrah near Calcutta, West Bengal, India, in a study area where long term quantitative entomological studies have disclosed high intensity, year round exposure to Wuchereria bancrofti. Little elephantiasis or other serious filariasis-related disease was noted, but half the males over 20 years of age had genital lesions of various types. Ninety-two percent of households had at least one resident with microfilaremia or presumptive clinical evidence of filarial disease.
