Abstract

Elimination of filariasis was launched in 2002 in South Sumatra with the target in 2020 elimination has been done in all endemic regencies. This study aims to obtain factors that cause treatment failure in the prevention of filariasis as well as community based filariasis control efforts.This research has been conducted in Belitung Regency. The research activities included interviews, finger blood surveys of 671 residents, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Finger blood surveys in two villages in Belitung Regency obtained a microfilaria rate in Lasar Village, Membalong Sub District of 5.1% (16 of 311) and Suak Gual Village, Selat Nasik Sub District for 2.2% (8 of 360). The population who had received drugs in the filariasis MDA activity in Lasar Village was 62.4% and SuakGual Village was 57.7%. The results of in-depth interviews with cadres and community leaders revealed that some residents did not take filariasis prevention medication because of the side effects of the drug and felt they did not need the drug. The results of an environmental survey found a pool of water overgrown with water plants around the residential areas in Lasar Village and SuakGual Village that have the potential to breed habitat for Mansonia sp. as the main vector filariasis of Brugia malayi.
