絲虫病为我国严重的寄生虫病之一。流行范圍很广,北起山东西至四川,直至东南沿海各省都有絲虫病的发現。流行严重的地区感染率高达50％以上。解放后由于政府号召各地大力开展調查研究,因而新的流行区不断地发現。在农村中本病流行更为广泛和严重,故对农业生产,兵源的补充等均有一定的影响,亦就对国防建設和国民經济的发展有影响。 Filariasis is one of the serious parasitic diseases in our country. The epidemic is widespread, starting from west to sichuan in the north until the discovery of filariasis in the southeastern provinces. Severe regional infection rates as high as 50%. After the liberation of the government called for vigorous investigations and studies around the area, so the new popular areas continue to be found. In rural areas, the epidemic is more widespread and serious, so it has some influence on agricultural production and the supply of military sources. It also affects the national defense construction and the development of the national economy.
