The study was done to identifrfilariasis situation in Sikka district, to complete the baseline dala to be used in re-advocating the local authority. Primary data such as acute (microfilaria rate/Mf-rate) and chronic stages were collected cross sectionally. Secondary data i.e. management of elimination program, case management, as well as elimination activities were collected retrospectively.

The B. timori infection was spread in all age groups, and an eleven months old female baby was found to be positive. There were 121 people with chronic stage; most of them were women (76%). Due to limitation offinancial as well as human resources the implementation unit of mass' treatment in this district was only covered village level. The preparedness of the program management in all administrative levels, as well as availability of supporting data like map offilariasis endemicity and KAP 's of the community were very limited.
