Abstract
Filariasis (elephantiasis) is a chronic infectious disease, caused by filaria worms and transmitted by mosquitoes. Filariasis can cause permanent disability in the form of enlargement of the legs, arms, testicles, breasts and genitals, attacking parents, children, men and women. Community behavior that is less hygienic is thought to be the cause of transmission of filariasis. The purpose of this study is to analyze community behavior towards the prevention of filariasis.

The attitude of the Matang Pelawi Village community about filariasis disease, some consider medical diseases because they can affect anyone and some consider non-medical diseases or because of mystical things such as karma, voodoo, and witch. Some people have a negative attitude by mocking, insulting and wanting that filariasis sufferers be removed (exiled) from their villages because it can bring bad luck to other residents. The actions of the Matang Pelawi Village community are partly about filariasis disease, by making a preventive effort to maintain the cleanliness of the environment at the time of stay, sleeping using mosquito nets, and drinking medication in the month of Giant Feet Elimination (BELKAGA) on October in each year.

Peureulak Health Centre needs to improve health promotion activities about filariasis and its prevention so that all people in the Peureulak Community Health Center work area can understand filariasis and take appropriate precautions.
