Filariasis Filariasis is a group of diseases caused by the Filarial parasites The disease is transmitted by the bite of insects Filariasis is not a problem in Libya

Epidemiological features Agent W bancrofti B malayi O volvulus Environmental factors that favor breeding of vectors will lead to increase in the disease Vectors Mosquitoes – W bancrofti and B malayi Chrysops – Loa loa Simulidae – O volvulus

Filariasis distribution in the world

W bancrofti

Loa loa in the eye

Incubation period 5 – 10 months

Prevention and control Primary prevention Control of insect vectors – mosquitoes Spraying of DDT on walls and larvicide on water having larvae Preventing mosquito bites Sleep inside mosquito nets Health education

Culex mosquito

Secondary prevention Early diagnosis and treatment
