Abstract
This project aimed to indicate the situation of Brugia malayi transmission in village 1 and 2, Thambol Sincharean, Phrasang District, Suratthani Province. The entomological surveys have found the Mansonia bonneae infected B.malayi with infective rate 0.43% and Ma.uniformis has harbored with the second stage of parasite. The domestic cats infected with B.malayi in both villages with the rate 7.45% and 3.19% respecitively. The nocturnally sub periodicity are characterized of microfilaria B.malayi in cats, high peak at 00.02 am. As the above results indicated the B.malayi transmitted and maintained the infection cycle, so the suggestion for future control are treatment of risk people with Diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC) 300 mg + Albendazone 400 mg 1 time per year contineous 5 year (2002-2006) and reduce parasite in reservoir cats with Ivermectin 1,000 micro milligrame / weight 1 kilograme. Personnel protection and reducing the breeding site of Mansonia vector should be strengthening.
