Study Notes
National Vector Borne Disease Control Program: Public Health Interventions
Surveillance and Monitoring
- Early detection and reporting of vector-borne diseases through a network of surveillance systems
- Identification of high-risk areas and population groups
- Monitoring of disease trends and outbreaks to inform public health interventions
Vector Control Measures
- Elimination of breeding sites through source reduction and larval control
- Use of insecticides and larvicides to control vector populations
- Biological control methods, such as introducing natural predators or parasites of vectors
- Personal protection measures, such as bed nets and repellents
Environmental Management
- Modification of environment to prevent vector breeding, such as:
- Removal of standing water and waste
- Improving drainage and sanitation
- Modifying land use patterns
- Encouraging community participation in environmental management
Chemotherapy and Chemoprophylaxis
- Use of antiviral and antiparasitic drugs for treatment and prevention of vector-borne diseases
- Mass drug administration in high-risk areas and population groups
- Chemoprophylaxis for high-risk individuals, such as travelers and healthcare workers
Vaccination
- Development and distribution of vaccines against vector-borne diseases
- Vaccination campaigns in high-risk areas and population groups
- Promotion of vaccine uptake through public awareness and education
Public Awareness and Education
- Education on vector-borne disease prevention and control measures
- Promotion of healthy behaviors, such as using bed nets and removing standing water
- Community engagement and participation in public health interventions
- Collaboration with local leaders and stakeholders to promote public awareness and education
