Filariasisage


Filariasis is a common infection in tropical and subtropical countries. Several parasites can cause filariasis. In Nigeria a study was conducted to see prevalence of filariasis due to various parasite types. Specific questions of interest are:
a) What is the relationship of overall prevalence of filariasis with age?
b) What is the relationship of prevalence of filariasis due to Onchocerca volvulus with age?
