Mid-term assessment of lymphatic filariasis in Timor-Leste

김성혜 교수 (한양대학교 의과대학 환경의생물학교실)

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a mosquito-borne disease that can lead to chronic morbidity and permanent disability. Of the three LF parasites, Brugia timori is dominant in Timor-Leste, followed by Wuchereria bancrofti. Several studies have reported a large range of prevalence of B. timori and W. bancrofti in Timor-Leste since the 1960s. Among these studies, the 2012 National Parasite Survey was a nationwide study using a sensitive tool for detecting circulating antibodies, the Brugia Rapid test. The prevalence of antibody in the survey was 10.3 to 35% across the 13 districts of Timor-Leste, much higher than the 1% threshold required to start an LF elimination programme as specified by the World Health Organization (WHO).

To meet the global target of LF elimination by 2020, the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Timor-Leste, in collaboration with the WHO, integrated in 2014 the national neglected tropical disease (NTD) plan with the national mass drug administration (MDA) programme against LF. After three successful rounds of MDA with increasing epidemiological drug coverage reported, the sentinel and spot-check site survey was conducted in 43 sites throughout the country (13 sentinel sites and 30 spot-check sites) from December 2018 to March 2019 for a mid-term assessment of the LF MDA.
