ABSTRACT
Studies on the occurrence of early symptoms of filariasis have been conducted in two transmigration Units in the valley of the Wae Apu river, Buru island, Maluku Province, Indonesia. In both Units, higher disease rates were found in areas, where there was a closer contact with positive natives, higher density of the vector mosquito, and higher infective rates in the mosquitoes.
