RÉSUMÉ

An unusual increase in the incidence of viral fever was noticed in Androth and Kalpeni Island, U.T of Lakshadweep during November 2006. The Ecoepidemiology of the disease was studied in detail. The study indicated that Aedes albopictus is the predominant species (98.74%) and it exhibited a wide spectrum of breeding preferences with a clear-cut predilection for rat-damaged coconuts (RDCs). All the entomological indices were very high in both the Islands with a marked increase in Kalpeni Island. The clinical presentation of the cases was typical of chikungunya and the laboratory study confirmed this. Based on the investigation, control and preventive measures were planned, advised and implemented. The details regarding the bio-ecology of vectors, clinical presentation, laboratory investigations and effectiveness of control measures are discussed.

RÉSUMÉ

The mass drug administration programme to eliminate lymphatic filariasis with DEC in Kerala was started in 1997, extended to all the 11 endemic districts by 2005. Since the beginning of Mass drug Administration, the drug consumption rate was found to be not satisfactory. The reasons for noncompliance indicated that the community is not fully convinced about the programme. The knowledge of the medical and para medical workers is certainly a factor in the success of implementation of the programme and is vital. To ascertain the knowledge, a study was undertaken and found not satisfactory. Hence intensive training on all aspects of lymphatic filariasis and the Mass drug Administration programme to achieve the requisite drug consumption rate to meet the goal is needed.

RÉSUMÉ

The Mass Annual Single dose DEC administration (MDA) was initiated in India from 1997. In Kerala MDA was studied as a pilot project in Alappuzha and Kozhikode District from 2000-04 and the first round of MDA was launched in Kerala covering eleven endemic districts, in March 2005. On evaluation, the drug distribution coverage, compliance, etc. were found to be not satisfactory and a need to elicit the factors for poor performance of MDA is felt essential. The main reasons for poor performance of MDA in Kerala state were the lack of adequate prior information to the target population regarding the importance LF elimination programme and inadequate awareness. The fear of side reactions, antipropagonda, poor IEC activities repeated postponement of programme, insufficient time for mobilisation etc. were the other reasons for poor compliance. The purpose of the present study was to bring the observations to the notice of the authorities so that appropriate remedial measures are incorporated.

RÉSUMÉ

The mass DEC drug administration to eliminate lymphatic filariasis in Kozhikode district was monitored from 2001 to 2003 to assess the drug distribution coverage, compliance, reasons for non-compliance, side reactions, mf prevalence and intensity, infection and infectivity rates in the vector. The drug distribution coverage and compliance were much below the required level. "No disease so not necessary" (42.5%) and "fear of side reactions" (25.2%) were the two major reasons for non-compliance. The adverse reactions were minimal. No appreciable changes were found in the mf prevalence and intensity. For the successful implementation of the MDA programme, proper planning, intense and timely efforts to motivate the community and innovative drug delivery strategies are required.

RÉSUMÉ

In India there is a dramatic fall in the prevalence rate (PR) of leprosy, but the new case-detection rate (NCDR) has not been reduced concomitantly. It is the operational efficiency of the National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP) that has led to a significant reduction in the NCDR in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The ratio of PR to NCDR has been declining in these two states and it reveals that elimination could be reached even with the high NCDR level of 3 to 4 per 10000 population, particularly if single skin lesion (SSL) cases are discharged through single dose treatment of rifampicin, ofloxacin and minocycline (ROM). On the other hand, the significant number of cases detected in Bihar and Orissa during modified leprosy elimination campaigns (MLECs) reveals that there are lacunae in operational activities in new case-detection resulting in a large number of undetected cases in the community. Only one-third of the cases are reporting voluntarily. Awareness of leprosy is not adequate to motivate the patients to report voluntarily and complete their treatment, thus underscoring the need for relying on active case-detection so that transmission can be broken and elimination of leprosy achieved. In addition, the influence of socio-economic factors on continued occurrence of leprosy cannot be ruled out. The establishment of a sentinel surveillance system along with a computerized simplified information system to gain in-depth knowledge on the functioning of the NLEP will ensure operational efficiency. In view of this situation, the NLEP should adopt a more realistic approach towards reaching the elimination goal.
