Background: Chronic manifestations of bancrofti filariasis can be debilitating. There is paucity of description of this disease in the childhood population, yet early detection can prevent disability such as elephantiasis.
Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence and clinical features of this infection among children in a plantation estate in Cross River State, Nigeria.

Agroecosystems have been associated with risk of malaria. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between three agroecosystems: (i) rubber plantation (RP); (ii) oil palm plantation (OPP); (iii) no cash crop plantation (NCCP) and the prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum infection among children living in the Aboisso region. In the three villages within (Ehania-V5) or close (N'zikro) or far from (Ayébo) to each agroecosystem (RP, OPP, and NCCP), two cross-sectional parasitological surveys were carried out during the dry and the peak of the long wet seasons.

In recent years, children in Thailand have been infected with zoonotic However, the local environment of rubber or oil palm plantations, which would increase their exposure to risk factors of the infection due to mosquito transmission, is unclear. The present study first sought to determine the extent to which variations in the local landscape, such as the elevated versus low-lying ecotope of rubber or oil palm plantations, in a 2-km radius of the geographically defined landscape in a rural area of Suratthani, Southern Thailand could influence the abundance of and its susceptibility to zoonotic filarial parasite infections compared to , , and , and . Thereafter, the filarial larvae found in the infected mosquitoes were molecularly investigated.

Environmental changes related to agricultural practices and activities can impact malaria transmission. In the objective to evaluate this impact on the human-vector contact, the level of human exposure to vector bites was assess by an immuno-epidemiological indicator based on the assessment of the human IgG antibody response to the gSG6-P1 salivary peptide, previously validated as a pertinent biomarker. Two cross-sectional surveys were carried out in the dry and rainy season in three villages with intensive agricultural plantations (N'Zikro with rubber cultivation, Ehania-V5 and Ehania-V1 with palm oil exploitation) and in a control village without plantations (Ayébo).
