Abstract

Lymphatic Filariasis is a chronic infectious disease that remains a public health problem in Indonesia as it can cause permanent disability and is prevalent in most parts of the country. In 2023, 7,995 chronic cases were recorded. This survey aimed to assess filariasis transmission in Ambon City, specifically to determine the microfilariae rate (Mf rate). This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. This activity also evaluates the Mass Filariasis Disease Eradication Program (POPM) implemented in Ambon City in five years, from 2015 to 2019. The population in this survey was Ambon City, which was over 18 years old, with a total of 249,608 people. The sample consisted of 1,230 respondents from 30 clusters representing five sub-districts in Ambon City. Sample selection was randomized using the Survey Sampler Builder (SSB) application. The survey results showed that the Mf rate of Ambon City at stage 1 of the Transmission Assessment Survey (TAS) was 0.08%, with only one positive slide out of 1,230 samples, which was below the threshold. In conclusion, filariasis transmission in Ambon City has been successfully reduced. It is recommended that the Ambon City Health Office provide treatment to respondents identified as positive and continue to control infectious vectors in the area.

Abstract

Filariasis is one of tropical diseases that can lead to permanent disabilities and social stigma in society. Indonesia has chronic cases up to 9354 people by 2021, and Papua is the province with the most chronic cases, namely 3629. This paper aims to expand the work of BTKLPP Ambon to describe his efforts to eliminate filariasis in eastern Indonesia. The elimination effort took the form of a survey to assess the prevalence of microfilariasis conducted in Maluku Province, West Papua and Papua. The population was 1,413,367 individuals, while the sample studied was 4,999. This survey was conducted using 2 methods, namely Finger Blood Test and Rapid Test (FTS). The results are a step for the districts/cities to eliminate filariasis: Central Maluku District, West Seram District, Tual City and Southwest Maluku District passed the Pre TAS (mf rate 0%); South Sorong Regency passed the mid-term poll (Mf rate 1.6%); Jayapura City failed Pre TAS (mf rate 4.8%), Yapen Islands District passed Pre TAS (mf rate 0.98); Mamberamo District failed the pre-TAS (MF rate 6.1% in sentinel village and 6.7% in spot-check village). The conclusion is that BTKLPP Ambon participated in efforts to eliminate filariasis in Maluku Province, West Papua, and Papua.
