National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme

The programme (nvbdcp) is for prevention and vector-borne disease control, viz. Dengue, malaria, Chikungunya fever, Japanese encephalitis (JE), Kala-azar and Lymphatic Filariasis these are six diseases, It is transmitted by sand flies. The broadcast of vector-borne diseases depends on prevalence infectious vectors and human-vector contact, which is influenced by various factors like such as climate, people's sleep habits, density and bite vectors etc.

What is the current growth rate of nvbdcp?

Vectors

Vectors are organisms that cause the transmission of infectious pathogens between humans or from animals to humans. Most of these vectors are blood-feeding insects, which take the germs that produce the disease during blood meal from an infected host (human or animal) and then transmit it to a new host after obtaining a pathogenic replicated. Often, once a vector becomes infected, they spread the disease throughout each subsequent bite / blood meal for the rest of their lives.

Vector born diseases

Vector-borne diseases are human diseases caused by parasites, viruses and bacteria. Every year more than 700,000 people die from diseases such as malaria, dengue, schistosomiasis, human African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and oncoserosis.

The burden of these diseases is high in the tropics and subtropics and they affect the poor population disproportionately. Since 2014, a major outbreak of dengue, malaria, chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika has affected populations, claimed lives and flooded health systems in many countries. Other diseases, such as chikungunya, leishmaniasis and lymphatic filariasis, can cause chronic illness, lifelong illness, disability and occasional stigma. The distribution of vector-borne diseases is determined by a complex set of population, environmental and social factors. To read full article plaese connect www. community health nursing . guru
