In Sri Lanka filariasis is endemic in Southern, Western and North provinces covering eight districts designated as implementation units the Programme for Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis (PELF). Despite control activities over sixty years including multidose diethylcarbamazine, 6 mg/kg treatment microfilaria rates had persisted at low levels. Following systematic social mobilisation first MDA with DEC albendazole combination was conducted 2002.We investigated extent reached people, their...

Current satellite remote-sensing technologies enable the timely and detailed monitoring of human activities on Earth's surface. Sub-metre spatial resolution images can picture ongoing works railway highway construction. The synoptic view is useful to assist management such construction projects. In this article, we present an integrated change detection framework applied Light Rail Transport in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, using sub-metre optical images, Pleiades. Focusing known local area...
To ascertain the knowledge on filariasis and response to July 2002 mass treatment campaign in two sample populations.Application of pre-tested questionnaire by direct interviews individuals from randomly selected streets.Study areas were a coastal community Unawatuna (population 381), an inland Baddegama 236) Galle district. They interviewed twice, 4 weeks before drug administration (MDA) 7 days after.The population had greater awareness clinical parasitological features disease (p = 0.0003)...
