2About NVBDCP
- 1953-54 Started as - National Malaria Control
Programme (NMCP) dealing with malaria control
only - 1958-59 renamed as NMEP
- 1971 Urban Malaria Scheme launched
- 1975 National Filaria Control Programme (NFCP)
which was in operation since 1955 under NICD was
divided and operational part was brought to NMEP
while retaining training part with NICD. - 1977 Modified Plan of Operation (MPO) launched
to reduce morbidity and mortality and also to
sustain the gains achieved. - 1991 92 Kala-azar Control Programme was
launched under NMEP with separate budget head. - 1998-99 renamed as National Anti-Malaria
Programme (NAMP) - 2003-04 renamed as NVBDCP with a view to converge
Dengue, JE and 3 ongoing centrally sponsored
schemes NAMP,NFCP, Kala azar - In 2006, Chikungunya re-emerged and brought under
NVBDCP. -

3Generic strategy for Prevention Control of VBDs
- Early diagnosis and complete treatment
- (No specific drugs against Dengue, Chikungunya
and JE) - Integrated Vector Management (IRS, LLIN,
larvivorous fish, chemical and bio-larvicide,
source reduction) - Supportive intervention Vaccination only against
JE - Annual MDA using DEC and Albendazole for LFE
- Behaviour Change Communication

13Prevention and Control strategy
- Disease Management (for reducing the load of
Morbidity Mortality) - Early case detection and complete treatment,
- Strengthening of referral services,
- Epidemic preparedness and rapid response.
- Integrated Vector Management (For Transmission
Risk Reduction) - Indoor Residual Spraying in selected high risk
areas, - use of Insecticide treated bed nets (ITN/LLINs),
- use of Larvivorous fish,
- anti larval measures in urban areas like source
reduction and minor environmental engineering - Supportive Interventions (for strengthening
technical social inputs) - Behaviour Change Communication (BCC),
- Public Private Partnership,
- Inter-sectoral convergence,
- Human Resource Development through capacity
building, - Operational research including studies on drug
resistance and insecticide susceptibility, - Monitoring evaluation through periodic
reviews/field visits

15Treatment of Vivax Malaria
- Chloroquine 25 mg/kg body weight divided over
three days i.e. - 10 mg/kg on day 1,
- 10 mg/kg on day 2 and
- 5 mg/kg on day 3.
- Primaquine 0.25 mg/kg body weight daily for 14
days. - Primaquine is contraindicated in infants,
pregnant women and individuals with G6PD
deficiency. - Dosage Chart for Treatment of Vivax Malaria

weighing lt 5 kg) - Dosage Chart for Treatment of falciparum Malaria

Plus Sulfadoxine (25 mg/kg body weight)
Pyrimethamine (1.25 mg/kg body weight)on first
day. - ACT not to be given in 1st trimester of
pregnancy. - Primaquine 0.75 mg/kg body weight on day 2.

18IMA Initiative
- To strengthen the Programme
- Elimination,
- Eradication
- Newer interventions to increase the coverage
- Strengthening surveillance all cases to be
detected to achieve National goal for these
diseases - Standard diagnosis treatment guidelines
19Role of IMA in Vector Borne Diseases
- Aligning Diagnosis Treatment as per National
Policy (monotherapy banned) - All suspected cases to be tested for Malaria
- Diagnosis by Good Quality Ag detecting Bivalent
RDTs - Microscopy still the Gold Standard for diagnosis
of malaria - Species specific treatment of Malaria to be given
- Complete treatment be given
- Reporting of cases through District Malaria
Officers - IEC to Community
20Way Forward
- Saturation of malaria endemic population with
effective preventive measure (LLIN) - Quality coverage of high-risk population with IRS
and provision of EDCT - Sustaining incidence of malaria in areas with
APIlt1 - Bring Down malaria incidence in areas having
APIgt1 - Conducting Technical, Operational and Financial
feasibility studies for planning malaria
elimination programme - Pave way for elimination of malaria in subsequent
years - Ensuring complete reporting of all VBDs including
from private sectors
