Vector control of filariasis in the Solomon Islands
Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health.
1975 Sep.
Abstract
In Solomon Islands, filariasis is caused by the nocturnally perodic form of Wuchereria bancrofti and is transmitted by the same vectors of malaria. This study explores the control of this disease as an additional effect of the Malaria Eradication Programme.
