Lost work time was equivalent to around 29\u2003days of work in a year. Gender had significant influence on the mean number of working hours in this occupational group. Most cases could not weave, which is physically demanding, and preferred less strenuous tasks such as spinning, starching, dyeing or sizing. Hard physical labour constitutes 71.5% of total work time among patients and 83.7% in controls. As income also depends on the type of work, cases earn less.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> Filariasis has an adverse impact on the productivity of weavers, and morbidity management strategies and control programmes need to take this into account.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2006.01617.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,25]],"date-time":"2006-04-25T17:08:31Z","timestamp":1145984911000},"page":"712-717","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Impact of chronic lymphatic filariasis on quantity and quality of productive work among weavers in an endemic village from India"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"B.
