Abstract

Integrated management of vectors is an affordable, effective and efÀcient intervention for facing the challenge of increasing burden of vector borne diseases especially in developing countries where resources are scarce and limited. Vector borne diseases like Dengue, malaria etc are taking heavy toll in terms of morbidity, mortality and also adversely affects economy and serve as major obstacle for socioeconomic development of a developing country like India. Scope 1. To reduce Burden of VBDs in World and in India 2. Elimination of Malaria, Filariasis and Visceral leishmaniasis 3. To improve public health and Socio-economic development 4. Control of emerging and re emerging diseases 5.To reduce the Ànancial burden due to Vector borne diseases. Following Vector control strategies are the pillars of integrated vector management. 1. Source reduction 2. Appropriate methods to control larva. 3.Adult mosquitoe control measures. 4. Community education & Participation for risk assessment and interventions. Other challenges in implementation of IVM are lack of capacity building and poorly deÀned the role of advocacy. Supportive legislative framework is lacking and also there is inadequate intersectoral co ordination. Human Resource development is a major Challenge because skilled manpower and adequate infrastructure from central level to grass root level are the prerequisites for effective implementationof IVM. Implementation of integrated vector management strategies need strengthening. The implementing agencies should analyze the opportunities depending upon the situational and for effective implementation co operation from all stake holders is essential.
