1. BACKGROUND Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) is a public health problem in Nepal. Mapping of the disease in 2012 using ICT (immune-chromatography test card) revealed 13 percent average prevalence of lymphatic filariasis infection in Nepal’s districts, ranging from reporting and geo-ecological comparability, 61(63) districts were identified as endemic for the disease . The disease has been detected from 300 feet above sea level in the Terai to 5,800 feet above sea level in the Mid hills. Comparatively more cases are seen in the Terai than the hills, but hill valleys and river basins also have high disease burdens. The disease is more prevalent in rural areas, predominantly affecting poorer people. Wuchereria bancrofti is the only recorded parasite in Nepal, The mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus, an efficient vector of the disease, has been recorded in all endemic areas of the country. 1.1 Goals The people of Nepal no longer suffer from lymphatic filariasis

1.2 Objective • To eliminate lymphatic filariasisas as a public health problem by 2020 • To interrupt the transmission of lymphatic filariasis • To reduce and prevent morbidity • To provide deworming through albendazole to endemic communities especially to children • To reduce mosquito vectors by the application of suitable available vector control measures (integrated vector management). 1.3 strategies • Interrupt transmission by yearly mass drug administration using two drug regimens (diethylcarbamazine citrate and albendazole) for six years • Morbidity management by self-care and support using intensive simple, effective and local hygienic techniques.

3. MAJOR ACTIVITIES MDA was continued in 24 districts in 2074/75. 10 districts completed six, 6 districts completed seven, 4 districts completed eight, 3 districts completed nine and 1 district completed ten rounds of MDA in this year.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS • Continue MDA for Pre TAS un-success districts, and carry out transmission assessment, periodic surveillance and follow up surveys to monitor progress towards elimination. • Strengthen the capacity of the health system and service providers on morbidity management and disability prevention and post-MDA surveillance. • Carry out operational research, studies and programme reviews. • Consolidate all documents related to the programme in a dossier for the later validation and verification of elimination.
