Semua spesies tersebut terdapat di Indonesia Dampak sosial ekonomi karena bancrofti filariasis pada daerah endemik sangat serius. Hal ini menyebabkan hilangnya tenaga kerja atau pekerjaan. Penyebaran geografis parasit ini luas meliputi Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Filipina, India Selatan, Asia, Tiongkok, Korea, dan sebagian kecil di Jepang. Hampir seluruh wilayah Indonesia adalah daerah endemis filariasis, terutama wilayah Indonesia Timur yang memiliki prevalensi lebih tinggi. Kabupaten Mamuju Utara adalah salah satu daerah yang ditetapkan sebagai daerah endemis filariasi oleh Kementrian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia.
Tujuan : Untuk mengetahui karakteristik penderita filariasis di Kabupaten Mamuju Utara pada Tahun 2010-2014
Metode Penelitian : Jenis penelitian yang akan digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasional deskriftif dengan pendekatan survey, dan mengunakan teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu total sampling dan didaptkan sampel sebanyak 34 penderita.

All of these species are found in Indonesia Socio-economic impacts because bancrofti filariasis in endemic areas is very serious. This leads to loss of employment or occupation.

Almost the entire territory of Indonesia is endemic areas of filariasis, particularly eastern Indonesia which have a higher prevalence. North Mamuju regency is one of the areas defined as endemic areas filariasi by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia
Purpose: To determine the characteristics of filariasis patients in North Mamuju regency in 2010-2014
