abstract: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Lymphatic filariasis or elephantiasis has been identified as the second leading cause of permanent and longterm disability in the world. Lymphatic filariasis is a parasitic worm transmitted by mosquitoes that affects and disturbs the lymphatic system of the human body. The study is focused in Jati Sampurna Village (Bekasi, West Java) which is known as a filariasis endemic area with <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> microfilaria rate 6.20% in December 2000 to 2001. Dinas Kesehatan Jawa Barat has anticipated this problem and implemented screening and mass drug administration treatment. In this study, it is discussed about the population dynamics and epidemiology of Lymphatic Filariasis model in Jati Sampurna Village. Two model are being discussed here, the first model assumes no treatment while the second model assumes screening and treatment. The construction of the basic reproduction number is also done to investigate the effects of <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> controlable and uncontrolable factors on the endemic prevalence. Numerical simulation with different values of sizes of screening and mosquito recruitment rates are shown.
