H Maheudin, and F Partono, and P Idris, and K N Idris

A blood and clinical survey for bancroftian filariasis was made in the Kepu District of Central Jakarta in June 1976. About 90% of 614 inhabitants in the survey area was examined. The microfilarial rate was 4.5%; 5.8% in males and 3.3% in females. Most of the carriers were asymptomatic. The microfilarial density was low. There were 15 persons (2.7%) with signs and symptoms of filariasis; 11 males and 4 females. The total filariasis infection rate was 6.7%. The percentage of infected persons increased with years of residency. Persons living in poorly built houses had approximately 9 times higher microfilarial rate and 5 times higher disease rate than those living in modern houses.
