A total of 922 individuals (57.27% females) were screened for circulating filarial antigens, the prevalence of LF was 2.28% (21/922; 95% CI: 1.5–3.5) with significant heterogeneity between villages (range 1.28% to 2.95%). LF positivity was higher in males (3.55%) than in females and correlated with increasing age (p &amp;lt; 0.005).  Multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors for LF demonstrated an increased risk for males (AOR=2.6, 95% CI:1.0-6.7, P=0.04). The odds of developing LF among persons aged 30-44 years was 16.5 times more likely compared to other age groups (AOR=16.5, 95% Cl:2.0-132.9, P=0.007).
