| Abstract | Introduction: Mansonella ozzardi is a widely distributed filaria worm in the Amazon region. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of M. ozzardi infection in riverine communities of Lábrea municipality, Amazonas State, Brazil. Methods: A diagnostic blood filtration method in a polycarbonate membrane was used. Results: M. ozzardi was found in 50.3% of the sample, with the highest prevalence in farmers/fishermen (69.4%; χ2 = -19.14, p<0.001). The prevalence was higher in longerterm
residents (≥11 years; 60.2%). Conclusions: M. ozzardi infection rates are high near the Purus River, much greater than those previously reported based on diagnosis using thick blood smears. | pt_BR |
