[Bancroft's filariasis in Anjouan (Comoro Islands)].
A parasitological survey on Bancroftian filariasis has been carried out in Anjouan (Comoro Islands) in 1982. A fall in the microfilaria rate (17.66%) is noticeable comparatively to Prod'hon investigations in 1969 (41.25%). Prevalence is reduced in the main localities but is still high in remote villages, specially in the inner district of the island.
