VBD’s in India are

Malaria
Dengue
Chikungunya
Japanese Encephalitis
Filariasis
Zika (Recently)

Etiology

5. Malaria
5
•It is a protozoaldisease caused by infection with genus plasmodium and
transmitted to man by certain species of female Anophelinemosquito.
•In Telangana State Plasmodium falciparumand Plasmodium vivaxinfections are
common and deaths are due to Plasmodium falciparum
•Plasmodium ovaliand malariaealso cause infection
•Due to low and unstable transmission, most of the population has no or little
immunity towards Malaria
•Majority of Indians living in malariousareas are at risk of infection with all age
groups affected
•Maximum prevalence: July-November
5

6. Dengue
6
Dengue is a mosquito-transmitted
(Aedes aegypti ) virus and the leading
cause of arthropod-borne viral disease
in the world.It is also known as
breakbone fever
Dengue fever is caused by any of four
distinct serotypes (DENV 1-4) of single-
stranded RNA viruses of the
genusFlavivirus.

7. Chikungunya
7
•Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral
disease caused by the chikungunya
virus (CHIKV), an RNA virus in the
alphavirus genus of the family
Togaviridae.
•Chikungunya virus is transmitted by
mosquitoes, most commonlyAedes
(Stegomyia) aegyptiandAedes
(Stegomyia) albopictus, which can also
transmit dengue and Zika viruses.
These mosquitoes bite primarily during
daylight hours.

8. Japanese
encephalitis
8
Japanese encephalitis virus JEV is the
most important cause of viral
encephalitis in Asia. It is a mosquito-
borne(Culex ) flavivirus, and belongs to
the same genus as dengue, yellow fever
and West Nile viruses.
Last JE Case detected in Adilabad was
on 16.01.2024 from KGBV-
Sanjaynagar,Adilabad
In Uttar Pradesh, there were 47,509
reported cases of AES from 2005 to

9. Filaria
9
Filariasisis aparasitic diseasecaused
by an infection withroundwormsof
theFilarioideatype.These are spread by
blood-feeding insects such asblack
fliesandMosquitoes. They belong to the
group of diseases calledhelminthiases.

10. 10
There are three common types of mosquitoes in India which
cause various diseases.
1. Anopheles mosquito
•-Has wings with dark spots
•-Rests at an angleof 45 degree withsurface
•-Breeds in clearwater
•-Spreads malaria
2.Culex mosquito
•-Has plain dark wings (No dark spots on wings)
•-Appears hunchback when it rests
•-Breeds in dirty waters
•-Spreads filariasis and Japanese Encephalitis
3.Aedes mosquito
•- Mosquito with white spots
•- Breeds in clean water in overhead
tanks/wells/containers
•- Bites during day time and bite is very painful
•- Spreads Dengue, Chikungunya, Zikaetc.

11. Mosquito Life Cycle

12. Diagnosis

13. 13
•Peripheral blood smear examination
•RDT kits
•Targets of blood smear collection
•Active surveilance
–Carried out by multi purpose worker through
domiciliary visit. Worker should know about the total
population. Target –10 BS per 1000 population
•Passive surveillance
•Carried out by accredited social health
activist(ASHA), subcentres, PHCs, and Malaria
clinics where the patient comes for diagnosis and
treatment
Malaria

17. Prevention of VBD’s

1.Source reduction measures
2. Anti Larval Operations
(ALO)
3. Anti Adult Mosquito
measures
4. Awareness Activities

18. Source reduction measures
18
1.Dry Day activities
2.Elimination of Breeding places
•Land filling
•Regular removal of drains to avoid stagnation
of water.
•Improvement of general sanitation like regular
removal of garbage, timely deweedingetc.
•Steps to avoid water leakage, not to create breeding
places.
•Regular cleaning of surrounding areas of bore wells.
•Proper maintenance of tap and bore well platforms.
•Ensure adequate drinking water supplies regularly to
avoid water storage.

19. Anti Larval Operations
(ALO)
19
1.Dry day activities
2.Chemical Control
Temephos / Diflubenzeron Spray on breeding sources (
Fresh Water) with weekly interval.
*Dilution
Temephos 5 ml in 10 L water, Diflubenzeron 25% WP 10gm in 10 L water.
Dropping of Oil Balls on stagnant water
3. Biological Control
Release of Gambusia fish in breeding sources

20. Anti Adult Mosquito

Create awareness among Public regarding vector borne
diseases, their Prevention & Control operations.
Inform Public regarding mosquito breeding sources, personal
protection methods and risk areas.
Procure and distribute IEC material such as Pamphlets,
Posters, Flash cards etc.
Village Health and Sanitation Committee must involve
Organize IEC activities in Villages through Students,
Teachers, Wardens and other staff members.
Wide publicity is to be given regarding mosquito borne
diseases burden and importance of Anti Malaria and Anti

* Pin point activities to be carried out with in 24
hours of detection of confirmed case.

PLATFORM DAMAGE

24. WATER LOGGING NEAR
BOREWELL WITHOUT PLATFORM

25. KATCHA DRAIN NEXT TO MANURE

26. Rock water collections support
extensive disease causing vectors

27. Common Breeding Sources
Puddles,Ponds and Open Wells

28. Though running
water does not
support mosquito
breeding check
dams and slow
moving streams
support vector
mosquitoes that
effectively spread
malaria parasites.
