Abstract
Filariasis is a chronic communicable disease caused by filarial worms, which consists of three species: Wucherria bancrofti, Brugaria malayi, and Brugaria timori. This disease is transmitted through mosquito bites, infects lymph tissue (lymph) and causes swelling of the legs, breasts, arms and genital organs. Welamosa village, Ende district, located in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province is reported as one of the highest cases of 40 cases in 2015. This research aims to analyze the influence of social factor of demography and socio-cultural environment factor to elephantiasis incident in Welamosa village, Ende district. The study was conducted in July–September 2016 in Welamosa village and Wolowaru sub-district, Ende district. The type of research was observational analytic with case-control with 49 people as sampling. The research instrument used questionnaire and check list. The data analysis used statistical test of SPSS program with backward regression logistic test. The results showed five variables as risk factors of elephantiasis occurrence, age (OR=42.518), education (OR=38.248), occupation (OR=8.404), outdoor activity at night (OR=5.097) and sex (OR=0.193). In conclusion, social demographic factors (age, gender, occupation, and education) and environmental and social-cultural factors of attitude (outdoor activities at night) are risk factors for filariasis incidence in Welamosa village, Ende district.
