Brief history
NVBDCP origin
Malaria
Filaria
Kala azar
Dengue and Chikungunya fever
Japanese encaphilitis
5. 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.
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.
6. Factors increases VBD
Urbanisation
Shortage of water supply
Traditional water storage
Poor waste management
Life style changes
Rapid transport
Lack of surveillance
Lack of lab facilities,man power

to improve quality of life
Aim -is to provide access to the
recommended basic care for every
person with these manifestations
141.
142. Minimum services
Treatment of episodes of ADLA among
people with lymphangiitis and
elephantiasis

The first case of Japanese Encephalitis
(JE) was reported in India in 1955 from
Vellore, Tamil Nadu
The first major JE outbreak in 1973
from Burdwan district of West Bengal
A major outbreak of Japanese
Encephalitis was reported from eastern
UP during 2005 resulting in recording of
more than 6000 cases and 1500 deaths
158. introduction of vaccine in high
endemic areas
NVBDCP developed surveillance and
case management guidelines for
syndromic reporting of Acute
Encephalitis Syndrome including
Japanese Encephalitis
159. Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) is
high fever altered consciousness etc
mostly in children below 15 years of
age
JE virus is only one of the many
causative agents of Encephalitis
160. Data analysis2008-13
Most vulnerable age group between 1-
5 years followed by 5-10 years and
10-15 years in that order.
Least JE infections in infants (0-1
year).
All the endemic States except Assam
start reporting JE cases from July
onwards attaining a peak in
September- October.
161. In Assam the cases start appearing
from February and attain a peak in
the month of July.
Due to circulation of entero-viruses
particularly in Eastern Uttar Pradesh
AES cases are reported round the
year.
162. Goal-to reduce morbidity, mortality and
disability in children due to JE/AES
Objectives
(i) to strengthen and expand JE vaccination
in affected districts;
(ii) to strengthen surveillance, vector
control, case management and timely
referral of serious and complicated cases;
(iii) to increase access to safe drinking
water and proper sanitation facilities to
the target population in affected rural
and urban areas;
163. (iv)to estimate disability burden due
to JE/AES, and to provide for
adequate facilities for physical,
medical, neurological and social
rehabilitation;
(v)to improve nutritional status of
children at risk of JE/AES;
(vi)to carry out intensified IEC/BCC
activities regarding JE/AES.
