The main strategy for elimination of filariasis is transmission interruption through mass drug administration (MDA) however, it is important to argue that knowledge of vector species distribution and biting density is important for the impact of an intervention. In this paper, first the epidemiology of lymphatic filariasis in Samoa is examined, followed by a description of the bionomics and transmission potential of the vector mosquitoes, Aedes polynesiensis and Aedes samoanus. Then the role of entomology in a MDA based filariasis elimination programme is examined.
