The World Health Assembly (WHA) has passed a resolution to eliminate this disease by 2020. The major thrust of the elimination strategy is interrupting transmission by anti-parasitic treatment of entire communities. However, both vector density and community microfilaria load (CMFL) influence the intensity of transmission. Therefore, using a logistic regression approach a relationship has been established between the Risk of Infection Index (RII), vector density and CMFL. The present analysis indicates that there is no risk of transmission as long as the CMFL is maintained below 5 microfilaria (mf)\/60\u00a0mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> and the vector density per man-hour (MHD) is &lt;25. However, transmission may continue when vector density is &gt;25 and CMFL is &lt;5\u00a0mf\/60\u00a0mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>. In situations where CMFL is very high, parasitic control by mass administration may be cost effective in interrupting transmission. But at lower level of CMFL (&lt;4\u00a0mf) and higher level of vector density it might be more cost effective to use vector control methods. A RII value &lt;0\u00b72 is considered to be the threshold for confirming interruption of transmission. Thus, the relationship has been depicted in the form of a probability matrix, which could be used for selecting an appropriate control strategy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268807008953","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,20]],"date-time":"2007-06-20T08:42:16Z","timestamp":1182328936000},"page":"520-524","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Probability risk transmission matrix as a decision tool for assessing methods of transmission interruption of <i>Wuchereria bancrofti<\/i> infection"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"136","author":[{"given":"P.\u00a0K.","family":"DAS","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"VANAMAIL","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0169-4758(97)01151-4"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref018","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00034983.2001.11813649"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0169-4758(99)01486-6"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref011","first-page":"434","article-title":"Evaluation of integrated vector control measures on filariasis transmission in Pondicherry","volume":"87","author":"Rajagopalan","year":"1988","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Medical Research"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref014","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268800049992"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref016","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0035-9203(67)90129-0"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0169-4758(00)01643-4"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/34.2.195"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref013","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268800031095"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref015","first-page":"91","article-title":"Evaluation of Wuchereria bancrofti infection in Culex pipiensfatigans in Rangoon, Burma","volume":"36","author":"De Meillon","year":"1967","journal-title":"Bulletin of the World Health Organization"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0035-9203(67)90130-7"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0031182000066646"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref012","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268800031083"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref007","first-page":"516","article-title":"Cumulative exposure and its relationship with chronic filarial disease in bancroftian filariasis","volume":"25","author":"Das","year":"1994","journal-title":"Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref009","first-page":"117","article-title":"A study of the age composition of natural population of Culex pipiens fatigans Wiedemann in relation to the transmission of filariasis due to Wuchereria bancrofti (Cobbold) in Cylon","volume":"37","author":"Samarawickrema","year":"1967","journal-title":"Bulletin of the World Health Organization"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref019","first-page":"138","article-title":"Can vector control play a useful supplementary role against bancroftian filariasis?","volume":"77","author":"Maxwell","year":"1999","journal-title":"Bulletin of the World Health Organization"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref005","first-page":"491","article-title":"Strategies and tools for the control\/elimination of lymphatic filariasis","volume":"75","author":"Ottesen","year":"1997","journal-title":"Bulletin of the World Health Organization"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-706X(93)90081-L"},{"key":"S0950268807008953_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0035-9203(01)90260-3"}],"container-title":["Epidemiology and Infection"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0950268807008953","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,1]],"date-time":"2019-05-01T00:12:08Z","timestamp":1556669528000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0950268807008953\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,20]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2008,4]]}},"alternative-id":["S0950268807008953"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0950268807008953","relation":{},"ISSN":["0950-2688","1469-4409"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0950-2688","type":"print"},{"value":"1469-4409","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,20]]}}}
