Abstract
It is recommended that routine annual filarial survey conducted in military garrisons should include all personnel belonging to known endemic states. Newer modalities of detection of infection may be considered to replace night blood surveys. An organization-specific surveillance programme on prevention and control of Lymphatic filariasis in the Armed Forces thus may need to be launched so that we can achieve elimination.
