Abstract:
A user-friendly database on Bancroftian Filariasis has been developed for its application in endemic zones. East and West Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh are the endemic zones of the diseases where the complete information on vectors, vector transmission, and disease pattern has been collected. This database contains the entomological, epidemiological, and socio-economic details from which any type of combinational reports can be retrieved very quickly, according to user request. The database containing the complete information on socio-economic details can generate more than 13 reports according to the user’s choice. The size of the database is 48 MB, which can be imported on any windows-based system since it has the auto setup. Online help is provided to facilitate the operation. Literature from 1936 to date that helps young researchers working in filariasis research is also provided in this program. Details are discussed.
