In my opinion, it may be included in high school syllabus. One may think of including a chapter on health and wellness right from school level. Many more similar information may be added.

The development of the concept of pathogens and methods of transmission in general is supposed to be an important part of the biology course, and it is possible to include awareness topics starting from the ministries of health and the environment within the labels, wall paintings, the daily newspaper, the website of each center, To spread health awareness

Definitely yes. Health education on vector borne diseases at school level will be extremely helpful in prevention and control of the diseases such as dengue, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, lymphatic filiariasis, chikungunya, West Nile fever, leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis.

Vector-borne diseases play a less important role in Europe than in tropical and sutropic countries such as Africa and South Asia. The proposal is that children should have better knowledge about this at school is important. reasonable and, as far as I know, this such information is given in the school by teachers. Intercontinental travel also affects many young people today. Of course, it is not only about the transmission of serious diseases through vectors, but also about the hygienic conditions that favour such transmission. They need to be improved.

Among the information about vector-borne diseases:

Tankers organisms movement of pathogens and parasites of the person (or animal) infected to another, causing serious diseases in humans. These diseases are common in tropical and subtropical regions and places where access to safe drinking water and sanitation systems is difficult.

Diseases «borne» known as «communicable diseases», are the ills caused by these pathogens and parasites among human populations, which are often found in tropical and warm humid, and the places where the problems of access to clean drinking water systems and sanitation safe there and knows that the transmitted disease vector malaria which is the most Vtka- Has caused an estimated 660,000 deaths in 2010, for example . Most of these were African children, but the fastest growing vector in the world is dengue, where the disease has increased 30 times over the last 50 years

The globalization of trade, freedom and ease of travel and environmental challenges - such as climate change and urbanization - have had an impact on the transmission of vector-borne diseases, and have emerged in countries where they were not previously known.

Of the most commonly known vectors, mosquitoes, flies, fly sand, bugs, ticks and snails - which are responsible for the transfer of a wide range of parasites and the factors that cause the disease, and attack humans or animals alike, Valbawwad-, for example, does not transmit malaria And "dengue fever" only, but also transmits lymphatic filariasis, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, and yellow fever

One of the main vector control methods is the elimination of ponds, stagnant shallow swamps, indoor and outdoor spraying, public and private parks, and the use of long-term insecticide-treated nets," tablets, "one of the most important vector control measures that protect humans from mosquito bites , Especially children, and complementary approaches to vector control in particular environments and under special circumstances, these major vector control interventions can be complemented by other methods such as the management of larval sources, the expansion of personal protection measures, insecticide resistance, and "It is important to urge endemic countries to develop and implement comprehensive strategies to manage insecticide resistance, ensure insect monitoring and monitor resistance in a timely manner.

Dear Prof Shibabrata Pattanayak

Definitely yes. I think Health education in high school is very rational approach in every country .

Yes sure, I am agree with you 100%.

Vector-borne diseases are human illnesses caused by parasites, viruses and bacteria that are transmitted by mosquitoes, sandflies, triatomine bugs, blackflies, ticks, tsetse flies, mites, snails and lice. Every year there are more than 700 000 deaths from diseases such as malaria, dengue, schistosomiasis, human African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and onchocerciasis, globally. The major vector-borne diseases, together, account for aeround 17% of all infectious diseases.

If it will be added in school curriculum then certainly it will be helpful in its prevention.

Very nice query@Dr Pattanayak ji

Sure , it is very important to implement such issues and health programs in the syllabus of school education to make them aware of the dangerous consequence of these vector borne diseases.

I would not think so but its worth a pilot study

Public health problems like vector- borne diseases cannot be managed (if not controlled @100%)without active participation of the community especially the students. Many School-based cross-sectional studies (e.g., Sureshbabu et al, 2017)has already been conducted in this regard. Many school boards also have included the topic in their syllabus.

But it all depends on how effectively we are motivating the tender minds to this great cause and how best all these motivated ignited emotions be transformed into action in practical sense.

Definitely yes; The cause and effects of vector borne diseases and their preventive measures need to be a part of the school syllabus as compulsory to generate awareness among children right from school stage.

Forget about control, we get the awareness of diseases that is more important.

From my school days studies to degree I studied about insects and how the diseases are caused through them (how they act as vectors).

I think so.

Of course, yes

Definitely It should be included. Good suggestion

As a part of general science, students learn about vector borne diseases in the school. I think that they should make aware their family members too.

Long-term vector control strategy should be based on generation of increased awareness on the disease and various methods of its control. Educational intervention program particularly in schools will lead to improved knowledge of vector ecology and disease epidemiology, and prevention among students that would be beneficial in creating a public awareness about Vector-borne diseases.

sure, it is very very necessary

regards

Yes definitely

Yes, I think so.

Best regards

Yes, the effects and reasons will aid in its awareness and possible control.
