2006: Chikungunya control programme included in NVBDCP
Milestones NVBDCP:
5. 1999- NMEP was renamed as National Anti-malaria programme
(NAMP)
The directorate of NMEP was renamed as directorate of National Anti-
malaria programme (NAMP) in March 1999.
It was dealing with three centrally sponsored schemes namely:
1) Malaria
2) Filaria
3) Kala-azar control and
In addition, it was looking after the prevention and control of
4) Dengue &
5) Japanese Encephalitis
Historical perspective:
6. With a view to converge Dengue/ Dengue Haemorrhagic fever and
Japanese Encephalitis with the three ongoing centrally sponsored
schemes, the integrated scheme was renamed as National Vector
Borne Disease control Programme (NVBDCP) from 2nd December
2003.
In 2006, Chikungunya re-emerged in the country and this was also
bought within the purview of Directorate of NVBDCP
Historical perspective:
7. Introduction:

strategy for
prevention and
control of vector born
diseases.
A. NVBDCP strategies:
Program Strategies of NVBDCP:
Disease
management
Supportive
intervention
Integrated vector
management
(IVM)
17. a) Early diagnosis / case detection
b) Prompt & complete treatment
c) Referral services strengthening
d) Epidemic preparedness and Rapid
response
1. Disease management:
18. For transmission risk reduction
a) Indoor residual spraying (IRS) eg. DDT,
Malathion.
b) Use of insecticide treated nets (ITN's)
c) Use long lasting insecticidal net's
(LLIN's)
d) Use of ( larvivorous fish) Anti larval
measures (ALM) eg. Gappi, Gambusia
fish etc.
2. Integrated vector management (IVM)
20. Indoor residual spraying (IRS):
Area to be covered by 10 lit of suspension to
get correct dosage:
For DDT / Deltamethrin / Cyfluthrin is 500 sq.
meter
& for Malathion is 250 sq meter.
Residual effects in weeks:
For DDT / Deltamethrin / Cyfluthrin is 10-12
weeks
& for Malathion is 6-8 weeks.
21. Discharge rate should be 740 to 850 ml/minute.
Distance of between nozzle tip and wall should be 18 inches.
40 up and down strokes per minute to maintain the pressure.
Movement of lance in such a way as to cover 2000 square feet
area (one house) in 5 minute consuming one gallon
suspension(4.5 lit).
A good quality spray should lead to uniform deposit on walls and
other sprayable surface.
Techniques of good spray depend upon:
22. These insecticides instantly kill the adult mosquitoes
with no residual effects.
Space sprays must be repeated often, at least once
every week.
Pyrethroids are commonly used eg Deltamethrin.
Space sprays:
23. a) Behavior change communication (BCC)
b) Public private partnership (PPP)
c) Inter sectorial convergence
d) Human resource development
e) Monitoring evaluation
f) Vaccination for JE
g) Web based Management Information System
h) Annual mass drug Administration
3. Supportive interventions

State government monitor and ensure program
implementation.
F) Environmental management : Proper drainage and
sanitation.
G) Focused attention: The centre and the state's- Monitor
the program closely & high risk areas are identified for
focused attention.
30. Launched in 1971 in urban areas. It is centrally sponsored programme currently
protecting 130 million population from malaria & other vector borne diseases.
Initially only 23 towns, but now 131 towns and cities in 19 states and union
territories are covered under this scheme.
Vectors like A. stephensi, supplemented by A. culicifacies are responsible for
urban malaria
They breeds in wells, low-lying areas and wet cultivations
URBAN MALARIA SCHEME (UMS):
31. Has divided states into 3 catagories
Category 0 (with 0 indigenous cases) states/UTs: None
Category 1 (with API <1 in all the districts)15 states/UTs are: Himachal Pradesh, Punjab,&
Kashmir, Kerala, Manipur, Puducherry, Chandigarh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Sikkim,
Rajasthan,Daman & Diu, Goa, Delhi and Lakshadweep.
Category 2 (with API >1 in some districts)11 states/UTs are: Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar
Pradesh, Karnataka, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh Assam, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Nagaland.
Category 3 (with API >1)10 states/UTs are: Andaman & Nicobar islands, Madhya Pradesh, Dadar &
Nagar Haveli, Jharkhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Meghalaya, Tripura and
Mizoram.
The National Framework for Malaria Elimination
in India (2016-2030):
32. has formulated the following objectives:
By 2022, transmission of malaria interrupted and zero indigenous cases to be
attained in all 26 States/UTs that were under Categories 1 and 2 in 2014;
By 2024, incidence of malaria to be reduced to less than 1 case per 1000
population in all States and UTs, and their districts;
By 2027, indigenous transmission of malaria to be interrupted in all States and
UTs of India; and
By 2030, malaria to be eliminated throughout the entire country, and re-
establishment of transmission prevented.
The National Framework for Malaria Elimination
in India (2016-2030)
33. States and UTs should categorize their districts so that even if the
given state/UT is not yet in the elimination phase, their districts with
API < 1 could be considered eligible for initiating elimination phase
activities.
In addition, each district may sub-categorize its blocks into different
phases based on their API; and further each block into its PHCs, PHC
into SCs and SC to villages.
This would facilitate some category 2 districts to start elimination
activities in their blocks falling in category 1.

39. Conclusion / Suggestions:
Demand & supply of the vector control measures (eg LLIN’s, ITN’s,
IRS) need to be maintained on priority basis.
PPP can be used more effectively for implementation of Program.
Research should be promoted in the area of:
a) Drug resistance,
b) Resistance of mosquitoes to chemical sprays &
c) more effective control of vectors.
