dc.description.abstractThe cost benefit analysis of fish culture as a means for vector control towards the containment of Brugian filariasis in Shertallai, a highly endemic tract for this disease in Kerala was carried out. While the financial gain accrued to the community was to the tune of Rs. 1,82,052 in ponds (under monoculture) with Chinese grass carp from 763 ponds, it was Rs. 1,83,740 from 1000 ponds under polyculture with Catla catla, Cyprinus carpio, Labeo rohita, Labeo fimbriatus, Cirrhina mrigala and Ctenopharyngodon idella (Chinese grass carp). Monoculture with Giant gourami (Osphronemous goramy) fetched an income of Rs. 7,654 to the community from 128 ponds. A marked reduction in weed reinfestation/vector breeding was observed in ponds under fish culture than other without fishes. The study clearly indicates that fish culture is an ideal strategy for Mansonioides control as it can bring perceptible benefits to the community.en_US
