2. World Health Day theme 2014:
“vector borne diseases”
“SMALL BITE – BIG THREAT”
3.
4. INTRODUCTION:
• With this World Health Day, WHO is drawing attention to a group of diseases that are
spread by insects and other vectors, the heavy health and economic burdens they impose,
and what needs to be done to reduce these burdens.
• Vector-borne diseases cause more than one million deaths each year and Over half the
world's population is at risk from vector-borne diseases such as malaria and
dengue. Vectors like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas transmit parasites, viruses, or
bacteria between people or between animals and people.
• But death counts, though alarming, vastly underestimate the human misery and hardship
caused by these diseases, as many people who survive infections are left permanently
debilitated, disfigured or blind.
.
5. Vector-borne diseases: Key facts
• Marking the World Health Day, WHO has released some key facts and figures based on this year's
theme:
• Vector-borne diseases are commonly found in tropical and sub-tropical regions and places with
problems surrounding safe drinking-water and sanitation systems.
• Vector-transmitted diseases account for 17% of the estimated global burden of all infectious
diseases.
• Malaria is the most deadly vector-borne disease. It caused an estimated 660,000 deaths in 2010
and 627,000 deaths in 2012, most of whom were African children.
• Dengue is the world's fastest growing vector-borne disease with a 30-fold increase in disease
incidence over the last 50 years.
• Nearly 40% of the world's population is at risk from dengue.
• An estimated 1.3 million new cases of leishmaniasis, caused by sandflies, occur annually.
• Globalisation of trade and travel, climate change and urbanisation are all having an impact on the
global spread of vector-borne diseases.
6. What Is it?
Vector:
It is defined as an arthropod or any living carrier that transport an
infectious agent to a susceptible individuals. The transmission by a vector
may be mechanical or biological.
• So, vectors themselves are not an infectious agents.
• E.g. - mosquito, fly, rodents, tick
Vector borne disease:
A disease that is transmitted to humans or other animals by an insect such
as a mosquito or another arthropod is called a vector-borne disease.

NIV,ICMR AND BIOTECH Ltd.
15. BURDEN OF JE:
• Japanese Encephalitis is becoming a health problem in a number of States
especially in AP, TN, Kerala, Karnataka , WB, Assam, Bihar, & Haryana and has
been reported from 26 states and UTs since 1978.
• There was no national programme for this disease and the affected states were
managing the problem with the technical Assistance from the centre.
• This disease was included under the NVBDCP in 2003-04.

19. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD FOR JE:
AGENT
HOST
ENVIRONMENT
VECTOR
Group-B arbovirus(flavivirus)
NEUROTROPIC VIRUS
c. Tritaenicorhynchus
c.Vishuni & Culex pseudovishnui
JE virus is primarily zoonotic in its natural cycle and man is an
accidental host. Natural hosts of JE virus include water birds
of Ardeidae family (mainly pond herons and cattle egrets).
Pigs play an important role as an amplifier host since they
allow manifold virus multiplication without suffering from
disease and maintain prolonged viraemia.
85% cases occur among children <15yrs.
Rural agricultural field where
flooding irrigation is practised
common breeding places for the
mosquito is irrigated rice
fields,shallow ditches and pools
20.
21. Clinical Signs and symptoms:
• Incubation period: 5 to 15 days
• Mostly asymptomatic or mild signs.
• Children < 15 years and Elderly at highest risk for severe disease.
• For every case there are 200-1000 undetected/asymptomatic cases
• Clinically it is difficult to differentiate between JE and other viral
encephalitis.
• Convalescent phase is prolonged and vary from a few weeks to
several months.
• Amongst patients who survive, some lead to full recovery through
steady improvement and some suffer with stabilization of
neurological deficit.
22. PRODROMAL STAGE(1-
6DAYS):
-fever
-lethargy
-malaise
-headache
ENCEPHALITIC STAGE:
-Fever(38-40 c)
-Nuchal rigidity
-Focal CNS signs
-Convulsion
-increased ICT
-Dystonia
hemiplegia,quadriplegia
-Extrapyramidal sympotms
-Coma
LATE STAGE &
SEQUELE:
-Active iflamm. Ends
I.e ESR and temp.

may present
CASE FATALITY RATE VARIES BETWEEN 20-40% MAY INCREASE UPTO 58%
AVERAGE PERIOD BETWEEN THE ONSET OF ILLNESS AND DEATH IS ABOUT 9 DAYS.
23. DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT:
• IgM captured ELISA detects Ab. Within 7 days of onset of illness.
• Ab. Assay of paired sera.
• Dot-blot IgM assay.
• No specific treatment
• Symptomatic treatment and Supportive care.
• For prophylaxis :
Travellers (>1yr) visiting rural areas of endemic countries for atleast 2 weeks.
vaccination: 3 doses—on days 0,7 &28
or
2 doses 4 weeks apart.
24. PREVENTION:
Vector control
Eliminate mosquito breeding areas
Adult and larvae control( chemical larvicides, larvivorous fish)
Environmental management
Vaccination
Equine and swine
Humans
Personal protective measures
Avoid prime mosquito hours
Use of repellants /ITN/curtains
Space spray-Fogging with pyrethrum/malathion(Spraying should cover the
vegetation around the houses,breeding sites and animal shelter.unaffected villages
falling within 2-3 kms radius of the infected village should also receive spraying as a
preventive measures)
25. VACCINATION

26. NVBDCP developed surveillance guidelines for endemic states and advised that all the JE cases be
reported under Acute Encephalitis syndrome(AES)
Case definition of suspected cases:
-Acute onset of fever not more than 5-7 days duration.
-Change in mental status with or without
-New onset of seizure(Excluding febrile seizure)
-Other early clinical findings –may include irritability,somnolence or
abnormal behavior greater than that seen with usual febrile illness.

31. • In India major epidemic of chikungunya fever was reported during 60s
& 70s;
1963—Kolkata 1965---TN,MP,AP& Maharastra
1973---Maharastra
• The disease re-emerged in the country after a gap of three
decades.During 2006 a total of 1.39 million clinically suspected
chikungunya cases reported in the country involving 16 states.The
outbreak first noticed in AP then subsequently spread to TN and other
states.
There were no reported deaths attributed to chikungunya.
33. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD FOR CHIKUNGUNYA:
AGENT
HOST ENVIRONMENT
VECTOR
Chikungunya virus(family
Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus)
Aedes mosquito(Aedes aegypti.)
(PEAK BITING TIME FEW HOURS AFTER
DAWN AND LATE AFTERNOON)
Artificial accumulations of water in
and around human dwellings such as
discarded tins,broken bottles,flower
pots,coconut shells,earthen pots etc
Humans are thought to be the major
source, or reservoir, of chikungunya
virus for Mosquitoes)
34. In cubation period: 4-7 days( Ranges from 2-12 days)
Symptoms:
Sudden onset of Fever with chills ,
A petechial or maculopapular rash usually involving the limbs and trunk,
Arthralgia or arthritis affecting multiple joints like metacarpophalangeal jt.,wrist,elbow,shoulderwhich can
be debilitating. The name Chikungunya is derived from the Makonde word meaning "that which bends up"
in reference to the stooped posture developed as a result of the arthritic symptoms of the disease
headache,anorexia
Conjunctival congestion and slight photophobia.
Disease is self limiting .
No death have been attributed to chikungunya fever.
Dr.G.C.Sahu/ROH&FW/GoI/Ahmedabad
35. DIAGNOSIS:
Chikungunya is diagnosed by blood tests.
Since the clinical appearance of both chikungunya and dengue are similar,
laboratory confirmation is important, especially in areas where dengue is
present.
Key Diagnostic Tests:
Detection of antigens or antibody to the agent in the blood (serology)
If ELISA is available
An IgM capture ELISA is necessary to distinguish the disease from dengue
fever
36. TREATMENT:
There is no specific treatment for CHIK V .
-Symptomatic treatment only.
-No vaccine or preventive pill is available .
The illness is usually self-limiting.
No relapses occur – no second attacks.
The acute phase of the chikungunya fever lasts for 3-10 days but
the convalescent phase can usually last from weeks to months with
accompanying joint pain, swelling and tenderness. Sometimes it can last for
even a year or more.
Infected persons should be isolated from mosquitoes as much as possible in order
to avoid transmission of infection to other people.
Drugs like aspirin and steroids should be avoided.
37.
38. PREVENTION:
There is no separate programme for chikungunya fever as control
stratergies for dengue and chikungunya are same.
Eliminating mosquito breeding sites in and around the house.
Use of larvicides such as abate and biological control by larvivorous
fish like gambusia .
Anti adult measures like aerosol spray of malathion/sumithion.
Prevention of mosquito bites by personal prophylactic measures.
40. Magnitude of Problem:
• The world's fastest growing vector-borne disease is dengue, with a 30-fold
increase in disease incidence over the last 50 years.
• Dengue in particular is emerging as a serious public health concern.
• In 2012, it ranked as the most important mosquito-borne viral disease with
epidemic potential in the world.
• Dengue and DHF is now endemic in more than 100 countries.
• Around 2.5 billion people i.e two fifth of the world’s population in tropical and
subtropical countries are at risk of the diseases.
• An estimated 50 million dengue infection occur worldwide annually and about
50000 people wiyh DHF require hospitalization each year.
• Approximately 90% of them are children aged less than five years and about 2.5%
of those affected die.
41. INDIAN SCENARIO:
The first evidence of occurrence of DF in the country was reported during 1956
from Vellore district in Tamil Nadu.
The first DHF outbreak occurred in Calcutta (West Bengal) in 1963 with 30%of
cases showing haemorrhagic manifestations.
During 1996, one of the most severe outbreaks of DF/DHF occurred in Delhi
where,10,252 cases and 423 deaths occurred.
In 2006, the country witnessed another outbreak of DF/DHF, total 12,317 cases
and 184 deaths were reported in 21 states/UTs.
42. The number of dengue cases has been steadily rising since 2008 — when the
count was 12,561 —witnessing a dip only in 2011. The number of deaths due to
the disease has increased from 80 in 2008 to 242 in 2012 and 167 in 2013.
The dengue morbidity trend, or the proportion of deaths in comparison to the
number of cases, has been coming down. The dengue fatality rate was 3.3% in
1996 when the number of cases reported was 16,517. This has dropped to 0.5%
in 2012 and 0.2% in 2013.
Among the NE States Manipur has reported Dengue outbreak for the first time
in 2007.
Every year during the period of July-Nov there is an upsurge in the cases of
Dengue/DHF.
All the four serotypes i.e. Dengue 1,2,3 and 4 have been isolated in India.
46. As per endemicity SEAR divided into 3
categories:
• CATEGORY-A:(HYPERENDEMIC)(india,
Bangladesh,Srilanka,Myanmar,Maldives, Thailand and Timor-leste)
a.Major public health problem
b.Leading cause of hospitalisation and death among children
c.Hyperendemicity with all 4 serotypes circulating in urban areas
d.Spreading to rural areas.
• CATEGORY-B:(Bhutan, Nepal)
a.Endemicity uncertain.
b.Bhutan and Nepal reported their first outbreak in 2004.
• CATEGORY-C:(DPR Korea)
No evidence of endemicity.

53.
54. MANAGEMENT:
• DENGUE FEVER(DF):
• Management of Dengue fever is symptomatic and supportive
i. Bed rest is advisable during the acute phase.
ii. Use cold sponging to keep temperature below 39 C.
iii. Antipyretics may be used to lower the body temperature. Aspirin/NSAID like
Ibuprofen etc should be avoided since it may cause gastritis, vomiting, acidosis and
platelet disfunction.
iv. Oral fluid and electrolyte therapy are recommended for patients with excessive
sweating or vomiting.
v. Patients should be monitored in DHF endemic area until they become afebrile
for one day without the use of antipyretics and after platelet and haematocrit
determinations are stable, platelet count is >50,000/ cumm.
55.
56.
57. • INDICATIONS OF RED CELL TRANSFUSION:
Loss of blood(overt blood) -10%ormore of total blood volume .
Preferably whole blood/ component to be used
Refractory shock despite adequate fluid administration and declining haematocrit
Replacement volume should be 10ml/kg body wt at a time and
coagulogram should be done
If fluid overload is present PCV is to be given
INDICATIONS OF PLATELET TRANSFUSION:
In general there is no need to give prophylactic platelets even at < 20,000/cumm
Prophylactic platelet transfusion may be given at level of <10,000/cumm in absence of
bleeding manifestations.
Prolonged shock; with coagulopathy and abnormal coagulogram
In case of Systemic massive bleeding, platelet transfusion may be needed in addition to
red cell transfusion.
Use of fresh frozen plasma/ cryoprecipitate in coagulopathy with bleeding as
• per advise of Physician and patients condition.
These are only broad guidelines. The treating physician should consider the condition of the
patient in totality and decide
58. LONG TERM ACTION PLAN FOR PREVENTION AND

8. Monitoring & Supervision: Review, field visit , feedback
75. Epidemiological surveillance will be carried out as under: :
For effective epidemiological surveillance, uniform data collection would be carried
out in prescribed formats. All suspected cases should be recorded.
All components of surveillance i.e. collection, compilation, analysis and interpretation
of data, follow-up action and feedback should be carried out in a systematic and
organized manner.
During transmission period (monsoon and post Monsoon reporting will be on daily
basis by email or by fax.
In non or low transmission period reporting will be on weekly basis. Report of the
previous week (Monday to Saturday) should be compiled by the States and send to
NVBDCP by every Monday.
76. Strengthening of reporting system by provision of e-reporting mechanism.
Software would be developed for this purpose.
The state programme officers would arrange epidemiological,
entomological, clinical and laboratory investigations, whenever necessary.
Supervision and monitoring at all levels would be strengthened for
ensuring effective surveillance.
77. Monitor trends in the distribution and spread
of disease over time;
Detect the cases early for timely intervention;
Measure the disease burden;
Assess the social and economic impact of
dengue on the affected community;
Evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and
control programme
OBJECTIVES OF SURVEILLANCE:
78. Proactive
surveillance
.
• Proactive system is Serological surveillance designed to monitor dengue
virus transmission, especially during inter-epidemic periods and to
continually provide information on where transmission is occurring, what
virus serotype or serotypes are involved and what type of illness is
associated with the dengue infection. If this type of information is available
without delay, one would be able to detect the introduction of virus into
new area/s. In case of a IgM NS1 positive Dengue case detected during non-
transmission period, the case should be investigated properly. It may be an
index case or may an old case with low IgM titre.
Proactive
surveillance
• The disease surveillance will include clinical diagnosis,
monitoring of fever trends and sero surveillance. The
medical OPDs of the hospitals will be the sites for
monitoring the clinical cases as per the definitions and
fever cases for an increase/ clustering and send samples of
suspected or probable cases for the sero –surveillance

81. CASE MANAGEMENT
• GoI recommends use of ELISA based antigen detection test (NS1)
for diagnosing the cases from 1st day onwards and antibody
detection test IgM Capture ELISA (MAC ELISA) for diagnosing the
cases after 5th day of onset of disease for confirmation of
Dengue infection.
Laboratory
Diagnosis
• Clinical management of Dengue Fever(DF)/ Dengue
Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS)
had been developed in 2007 in a brain storming session at All
India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi involving
subject experts from National and International fame. The
treating physician should consider the condition of the patient
in totality and decide about management of an individual
patient.

thuringiensis serotype H-14 (Bt H-14)
has been found an effective mosquito
control agent.
86. PERSONAL PROTECTION AGAINST BITES
MOSQUITO NETS
• Protects against bites
SCREENING
• Door and window screening
With nets gives excellent
protection
REPELLENTS
• Mosquito repellent creams,
Lotions are good as short term personal protective measures
Wearing Full Sleeve Clothes and covering most of the body parts against mosquito and
fly bites.
87. OUT BREAK RESPONSE
Epidemic
preparedness:
Verification of the outbreak and Communication with authorities
concerned and recommendation of control measures
Early diagnosis and appropriate clinical case management of
dengue to minimize the number of dengue-associated deaths.
Emergency vector control to curtail transmission of the
dengue/chikungunya virus as rapidly as possible.;
Constitution of a Rapid Response Team (RRT) :
Dy.cmoh-II, Epidemiologists, vbd consultant, entomologists,
microbiologists/pathologist and IEC Officer/Consultant /Media
officer in each district HQ including Municipalities.
Media Management
Print and electronic media shall be informed on day to day
activities for control of dengue involving the media before the
occurrence of the seasonal increase in dengue enhances the
opportunity to increase public awareness about the disease and
the personal and community actions that can be taken to mitigate
the risk..
Two major
components of the
outbreak response
are:
88. CAPACITY BUILDING
Training
1.Clinical and laboratory-based surveillance, diagnosis and
case management
2. Vector Surveillance
3. Emergency control (Rapid Response)
Infrastructure
development
The entomological setup is very poor in almost majority of
the states/districtrs/municipalities.
The vacant posts of entomologists and Insect collectors at
each district and zonal level should be filled up.
Operational
research
It is desirable to prioritize research areas and develop new
strategy by undertaking operational research with a view to
improving its effectiveness and efficiency of the existing
tools for giving greater scientific credibility to dengue control
in India.
89. BEHAVIOR CHANGE COMMUNICATION(BCC)
Process of bringing together all feasible and practical inter-
sectoral social allies to raise people’s awareness of and
demand for dengue prevention and control, to assist in the
delivery of resources and services, and to strengthen
community participation for sustainability and self-reliance.
Social Mobilization
IEC & BCC
Increase the visibility of the problem
Increase levels of political commitment
Enhance mobilization of resources

91. MONITORING & EVALUATION (M & E)
Flow of information
Supervision
Monitoring : is a process tool used to keep a watch on goal
setting, analysis and planning activities aimed to achieve the
set goals.
Evaluation: is an outcome tool. Assessment of input, process and
output indicators are carried out to know the outcome.
Depending on the outcome, the course of the programme
is evaluated.
Information flow may start from the periphery to the centre or vice
versa. While the information regarding output indicators and
process indicators flow from periphery to the centre, input
indicator and outcome indicator information flows from centre to
the periphery. Impact indicators have to be communicated to the
periphery as a feedback from the centre to periphery. They would
help in timely and complete reporting.
A set back of the current Dengue and Chikungunya has been
perceived due to poor or nil supervision of the programme
implementation at peripheral level.
92. DENGUE VACCINE :
• 4 types of vaccines under development –
• Live attenuated vaccine
• Chimeric live attenuated vaccine
• Inactivated or sub unit vaccine
• Nucleic acid based vaccine
93. INDIA UPDATE ON DENGUE VACCINE
• "Search for a dengue vaccine has been going on across the world for
past several decades. We, at our centre, started experiments seven
years ago. The new technology we have used, i.e. recombinant DNA
technology, to develop the dengue vaccine is a breakthrough," said Dr
Navin Khanna, group leader of Recombinant Gene Products Group,
ICGEB.
94. REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE FEVER
• Demographic & Societal Changes –
• Unplanned & uncontrolled urbanization
• Population growth
• Restraints on civic amenities – water supply, solid waste disposal
• Increase in breeding potential of vector species
• Improved communication facilities- rapid transporatation – establish in rural
area
95. REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE FEVER
• Effective mosquito control based on source reduction – non existent
in endemic areas
• Solid waste management –
• Increase in use of plastics, paper cups, tyres
• Facilitate breeding
• Insufficient solid waste collection & management
96. REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE FEVER
• Increased population management –
• Significant increase in plantations –
• Increased demand for rubber
• Rubber plantation increased
97. REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE
FEVER
• Uncontrolled urbanization
• Inadequate environment management
• Population movements
• Growth in global air traffic
• Increase in maritime passenger and cargo traffic
• Climate change
98. REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE
• Unrestrained production and
use of non biodegradable food
and drink packaging like plastic,
tetra packs
• Unmonitored use and
abandoning of containers, drums
(construction site)
99. RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE: INADEQUATE ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT :
• Inefficient waste collection and management
• Non biodegradable containers
• Improper tyre disposal
• Insufficient and inadequate water distribution
• Inadequate management of water storage & disposal
100. RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE: POPULATION
MOVEMENTS:
• Migration : > 750 million people annually cross international borders
• Increase in rural migration to urban areas
• Ever increasing international travelers across the globe
102. Magnitude of the problem:
• It is a global problem (mainly Africa, Asia, West pacific & Americas) affecting over 83 countries.
• More than 1.3 billion people live in areas where there is risk of infection,of whom 120 million
are infected and in need of treatment, including 40 million people with overt disease i.e 15
million with lymphoedema and 25 million men with urogenital swelling mainly scrotal swelling.
• About 95% of cases of lymphatic filariasis are caused by infection with W. bancrofti; other
parasites include Brugia malayi and B. timori.
• An estimated 600 million people are at risk of lymphatic filariasis infection in 250 endemic
districts in 20 states/UT in India.
• Bancroftian filariasis is widely distributed while Brugian filariasis caused by Brugia Malayi is
restricted to 6 statesUP,Bihar, AndhraPradesh,Orissa, Tamilnadu, Kerala, and Gujarat.

Culex & Mansonia Mosquitoes
1.CLIMATE:Favourable temperature for Culex is between22
–38 deg C with relative humid environment
2.BAD DRAINAGE:
-Inadequate sewage disposal and lack of townplanning
have aggravated the problem in India.
-The common breeding place are cesspools, soakagepits, ill
maintained drains, septic tanks, open ditches,burrow pits,
-All ages are susceptible but usually Infection
rates rises with age upto 20-30 years
and then level off.
-Higher prevalence in males.
-Urbanization, Industrialization,
Illiteracy, Poverty and Poor sanitation
105.
106. CLINICAL MANIFESTATION:
• Incubation period: 8-16 months
• Manifestation divided into Two types:
- Lymphatic filariasis
- occult filariasis
LYPMHATIC FILARIASIS:
(i)Asymptomatic amicrofilaraemia :-
- No symptom & no microfilariae.(But they have the same degree of exposure to infective larvae as those who are
infected)
(ii)Asymptomatic microfilaraemia:-
- No symptom but mf present in the blood.(Important source of infection in the community)
(iii)Stage of Acute manifestation:-
- Filarial fever, lymphangitis, lymphadenitis and lymphoedema and epididyo-orchitis in male.
(iv)Stage of Chronic Obstructive Lesions:-
- Develop 10-15 years after first acute attack and is due to fibrosis and obstruction of lymphatic vessels.
- Hydrocele, Elephantiasis and chyluria
OCCULT FILARIASIS:
-classical clinical filarial manifestation are not present and micofilariae not found in blood.
-Due to hypersensitivity reaction to filarial antigen derived from microfilariae.e.g tropical pulmonary eosinophilia
107. CLINICAL FEATURES:
1.Asymptomatic Parasite Carrier State
2.Acute Disease:
-- Adenolymphangitis :
Acute dermato-adeno-lymphangitis (ADLA)
Acute filarial lymphangitis (AFL)
-- Acute epididymo-orchitis and funiculitis:
3.Chronic Disease:
Involvement of Limbs Lymphoedema of the extremities is a common chronic manifestation of LF, which on progression
leads on to elephantiasis.
Lymphoedema of the limbs is graded as follows:
- Grade I lymphoedema: Mostly pitting oedema; spontaneously reversible on elevation
- Grade II lymphoedema: Mostly non-pitting oedema; not spontaneously reversible on elevation
-Grade III lymphoedema (elephantiasis): Gross increase in volume in a grade II lymphoedema
with dermatosclerosis and papillomatous lesions.
• In the advanced stages of lymphoedema, the skin is thickened and thrown into folds, often with hypertrichosis, black
pigmentation, nodules, warty growth, and Intertrigo in the webs of toes or chronic non-healing ulcers.
• Genito-urinary Involvement:
--Hydrocele
--Chylocele
--Lymphoedema of the scrotum and penis
--Lymph scrotum
108. NATIONAL FILARIA CONTROL PROGRAM
• This program was started in 1955.
• In 1962 the stratergy revised due to non-cooperarion of people because of
side effect of DEC and development of resistance to insecticides by the
vectors.
• In 1978 the operational component was merged with Urban Malaria Scheme
for maximum utilization of available resources.
• In 1997 India became a signatory to WHO for global elimination of Lymphatic
Filariasis and the target for global elimination is by 2020.
• In 2003 -04 it was merged with NVBDCP.
109. Revised Filaria Control Strategy
• The National Health Policy 2002 aims at Elimination of Lymphatic
Filariasis by 2015.
• Elimination of Lymphatic filariasis is defined as “Lymphatic Filariasis
ceases to be a public health problem when the no. of microfilaria
carriers is less than 1% and children born after initiation of elimination of
Lympmatic filariasis are free from circulating antigenaemia(i.e presence
of adult filarial worm in human body)”
• OBJECTIVES:
-To reduce and eliminate transmission of lymphatic filariasis by MDA
Of DEC in endemic areas.
-To reduce and prevent morbidity in affected areas.
-To strengthen the existing health care services.
110. STRATEGY:
• Single day Annual Mass Drug Administration with single dose of Diethyl
carbamazine(DEC) @ 6mg/kg body wt for consecutive 5-7 years(life span of adult
worm) to interrupt transmission of disease.
• IEC for individual/community based preventive and protective measures for filarial
control.IEC also directed at self care of affected parts and early seeking of care.
• Vector control measures.
Coadministration of DEC +Albendazole had been upscaled to cover the population at
risk since 2007.
111. MDA(Mass drug administration):
• The concept of MDA is to approach every individual in the target
community and administer annual single dose of anti-filarial drugs (DEC
or DEC+Albendazole) except pregnant women, children below two
years of age and persons who are very sick from other illness . This
annual dose is to be repeated every year for a period of 5 years or more
aiming at minimum 85 % actual drug compliance.
--DEC tablets should be taken once in a year on the identified day of MDA
(National Filaria Day 5th june).
112. • The recommended approach based on the past experience is “supervised
drug administration by door to door visit supplemented with drug
administration at booths and groups” preferably on a single day with two-day
mopping upoperations, instead of mere distribution of drugs.
• Mopping-up:
•Daily visits to the area for two days following MDA to cover the absentees
• If any case with side effects , provide them with symptomatic treatment.
• If any case requires hospital admission, report to the VHN/rapid response
team
•Record on the number of people covered daily.

Dum fever and espundia)
• Kala-azar is a slow progressing disease caused by a protozoan parasite of
genus Leishmania.
• In India Leishmania Donavan is the only parasite causing this disease
• The parasite primarily infects reticuloendothelial system and may be found in
abundance in bone marrow, spleen and liver.
• Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL) is a condition when Leishmania
donovani invades skin cells, resides and develops there and manifests as
dermal leisions.
120. • MAGNITUDE OF PROBLEM:
• Currently, leishmaniasis occurs in 4 continents and is considered to be
endemic in 88 countries, 72 of which are developing countries:
90% of all VL: Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Nepal and Sudan
90% of all MCL: Bolivia, Brazil and Peru
90% of all CL : Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Peru, Saudi Arabia and
Syria, India(Central & Western India)
• Annual incidence: 1- 1.5 million cases of CL
: 500,000 cases of VL
• Prevalence: 12 million people
• Population at risk: 350 million
121. SITUATION IN INDIA

124. Signs & Symptoms of Kala-Azar:
• incubation period: 1-4 months (10 days – 2yrs)
• Recurrent fever intermittent or remittent with often
double rise
• loss of appetite, pallor and weight loss with progressive
emaciation
• Splenomegaly - spleen enlarges rapidly to massive
enlargement, usually soft and non tender
• Liver - enlargement not to the extent of spleen, soft,
smooth surface, sharp edge
• Skin - dry, thin and scaly and hair may be lost. Light
colored persons show grayish discoloration of the skin of
hands, feet, abdomen and face which gives the Indian
name Kala-azar meaning "Black fever"
• Anemia - develops rapidly
125. Post Kala Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis
• Non ulcerative cutaneous lesion prevalent in endemic
areas of kala azar in India.
• In 10 % treated cases of Kala azar, Normally develops
<2 years after recovery(When Visceral infection
disappears but skin infection persists).
• Clinical feature:
• Depigmented macules: earliest lesion, trunk,
extremities and face
• Erythematous patches: Nose, cheeks and chin
• Yellowish pink nodules: Nodules mostly on face & are
soft, painless granulomatous growth of varying
sizes(Absences of ulceration is a noticeable feature)
• Do not heal spontaneously.
• Recrudescence
• Restricted to skin
Extensive nodular
lesion, resembling
lepromatous leprosy.
A very resistant case
cured after long
continued treatment
126. Diagnosis
• Clinical:
• A case of fever of more than 2 weeks duration not responding to antimalarials and
antibiotics.
• Clinical laboratory findings may include anemia, progressive leucopenia
thrombocytopenia
• hypergammaglobulinemia
• Laboratory diagnosis:
• 1.Demonstration of the parasite ‘LD’ bodies in the aspiration of the spleen,liver,L.N is the
only way to confirm VL or CL.
• 2.Aldehyde test:
positive after 2-3 month after onset of disease and reverts to negative 6 months
after cure. This test is useful for surveillance but not for diagnosis.
3.Serological test:
DAT(direct agglutination test)
rK 39 dipstick test
ELISA

130. KALA AZAR CONTROL PROGRAMME:
• An organized centrally sponsored Control Programme launched in endemic areas in 1990-91 Government of
India provided kala-azar medicines, insecticides and technical support and the State governments
implemented the programme through primary health care system and district/zonal and State malaria control
organizations and provided other costs involved in strategy implementation.
GOAL OF NATIONAL HEALTH POLICY (INDIA) 2002:
ELIMINATION OF KALA AZAR 2010
• Elimination Programme is 100 per cent Centrally Supported (except regular staff of State governments &
infrastructure)
• In addition to kala-azar medicines and insecticides, cash assistance is being provided to endemic state s since
December 2003 to facilitate effective strategy implementation by state
GOI also signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding with Nepal and Bangladesh in
May 2004 for elimination of Kala-azar from South-east Asian region by2015
131. STRATEGY FOR KALA-AZAR ELIMINATION:
• Programme strategy included:
- enhanced case detection and complete treatment including introduction
of rK39 rapid diagnostic kits and oral drug miltefosine for treatment of
kala-azar.
- Vector control through insecticidal residual spray (IRS ) with DDT up to 6 feet
height from the ground twice annually
- Early Diagnosis and Complete treatment
- Information Education Communication
- Capacity Building
-Monitering ,supervision and evaluation
-Operational research
132. • Active case search by “KALA-AZAR FORTNIGHT PROGRAMME”
During this programme HW and volunteers are engaged to make door to
door search and refer cases confirming the case definition of kala-azar and PKDL
to the treatment centres for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
-Conducted four times in a year
Incentives of Rs100/ provided to HW and ASHA for referring a suspected case
and to ensure complete treatment .
• Kala-azar case Definition:
Persons with fever of more than 15 days duration not responding to anti-
malarials and antibiotics with splenomegaly is a suspected case of Kala-azar.
PKDL:
Persons with depigmented patches on the body with sensation and with a
history of kala-azar in the past is a suspected case of PKDL.
