Many vector-borne diseases are transmitted by arthopods (mosquitoes, ticks, mites etc) and have prevalent in India namely malaria, dengue, chikungunya, filariasis and kala azar and these have become serious public health problems. National Programmes for prevention and control of these diseases have implemented and interventions at all levels, including community level, are being carried out. Through this platform Department of Health Research/Indian Council of Medical Research invites suggestions, views, best practices, innovative ideas to be tested through research to improve the strategies for better prevention, control and treatment of these vector-borne diseases.

Continuation to the earlier suggestion. Doctors and hospitals should report by IT, confirmed incidence of diseases.(within a day). Every district should have all required measure to control mosquitoes. Say, one or two kilometer area should be targeted for vector control. This will avoid pollution and save money. Action will be quick. Can we dot it?

I am a professional entomologist. It is sad the whole world is almost attacking mosquitoes to control vectors. All mosquitoes are not vectors.Prognosis and disease incidence should be reported by doctors & hospitals.Then Patients residence should be identified.Such hotspots should come under integrated vector management.Let us not bomb the whole India to control vectors.

creating better waste management system at panchayat level and municipality level . and carbon erosion in atmosphere for big cities is also important. of course by increasing supply for medicine but other then that awareness is important from safety perspective waste management system and carbon erosion from atmosphere is important

In the Masi Magam festival of Tiruchendur Murugan temple of TN, the State government has kept many water stations (thanneer panthal) where the pure mineral water was kept for drinking purpose as an preventive measure for dengue fever.This kind of pure water supply should be given in all public places.

The mosquito vector requires specific ranges of weather variables like temperature, rainfall and humidity. As the ranges of these variables changes due to climate change, a region can change from endemic to non-endemic and vice-versa. Thus careful monitoring, analysis and projection of impact of climate change as well as land-use and other environmental variables can enable pro-active planning and prevention. The necessary tools are now available for field implementation.

IF A PERSON IS AFFECTED BY DENGUE IN A AREA, THE CORPORATION WILL SPRAY THE MOSQUITO REPELLENT THROUGHOUT THE AREA. BUT ON THE EVENING ITSELF, THE MOSQUITO WILL COME INTO OUR HOME. SO THE COST OF SPRAYING THE REPELLENTS IS WASTED. SO WHY DO WE CAN MAKE A BIG ELECTRIC NET AND TO KEEP ABOUT THE SEWAGE AND IN HOUSES WITH PROPER SECURITIES. IT WILL KILL THE MOSQUITO IN THE SPOT ITSELF. SO WE CAN EASILY AVOID VECTOR BORNE DISEASES.

India is a very large country. Definitely we should keep our environment clean.But the immediate question would be where and how? for quick action on vector diseases? I think we should take advantage of technologies such as Geographic information systems by mapping the spatial distribution of basic information such as where patients live,work and traveled in last few days to identify the hot spots and take corrective action and cleanup.

Government schools should be given instructions to promote swach Bharat by including teaching children hygiene, cleanliness and how it will prevent diseases. The reason I'm including swach Bharat with this is because its a very good initiative but sadly not very well promoted. Swach Bharat success will save millions of lives, clean environment - healthy life.

Govt sponsored ads about the importance of swach bharat with the statistics of different diseases which can be prevented by following simple rule of no littering in public places and how every indian will help prevent a disease and save a life by doing so will help in promoting swach Bharat and also help people understand the importance of keeping public places clean.
