  • Title: Lymphatic filariasis and malaria: concomitant parasitism in Orissa, India.
    Author: Ravindran B, Sahoo PK, Dash AP.
    Journal: Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg; 1998; 92(1):21-3. PubMed ID: 9692139.
    Abstract:
    Concomitant parasitism with Plasmodium spp. and Wuchereria bancrofti was examined in Orissa, India, to study the influence of one parasite infection on the other in human communities. A survey of 1815 nocturnal blood films in 11 villages indicated an overall prevalence of 9.6% for malaria and 8.5% for microfilaraemia. Only 0.3% of the population harboured both parasites. Analysis of the expected and observed distribution of cases of dual infection in each village did not indicate any significant interaction between the 2 infections. The malarial vector density in 3 selected villages correlated well with the prevalence rate of malaria.
