The prevalence of leisnmaniasis rural areas of Rosera, Bibhutipur (Samastipur) blocks (P > 0.01; P > 0.01) and Kurhani, Motipur (Muzaffarpur) Block (P > 0.001; P > 0.001) (t = 1323). The prevalence of VL was the highest in the 11–30 years age group and then decline than older (< 50) age groups. Prevalance of VL was some similar in Rosera, Bibhutipur & Kurhani, Motipur blocks of Samastipur & Muzaffarpur district, both sex and age groups in rural areas. Statistically significant (F – 10.22; P < 0.01) & the sex difference too was found statistically significant (F = 10.06; P >; 01) & there are more or less Similar trends in all 4 blocks.
