About the organization:
Malaria is a potentially life threatening parasitic disease caused by parasites known as Plasmodium viviax (P.vivax), Plasmodium falciparum (P.falciparum), Plasmodium  malariae (P.malariae) and Plasmodium ovale (P.ovale) It is transmitted by the infective bite of Anopheles mosquito Man develops disease after 10 to 14 days of being bitten  by an infective mosquito There are two types of parasites of human malaria, Plasmodium vivax, P. falciparum, which are commonly reported from India. Inside the human  host, the parasite undergoes a series of changes as part of its complex life cycle. (Plasmodium is a protozoan parasite) The parasite completes life cycle in liver cells  (pre-erythrocytic schizogony) and red blood cells (erythrocytic schizogony Infection with P.falciparum is the most deadly form of malaria.Malaria has been a major public  health problem in India. Intermittent fever, with high incidence during the rainy season, coinciding with agriculture, sowing and harvesting, was first recognized by Romans  and Greeks who associated it with swampy areas. They postulated that intermittent fevers were due to the ‘bad odour’ coming from the marshy areas and thus gave the  name ‘malaria’ (‘mal’=bad + ‘air’) to intermittent fevers. In spite of the fact that today the causative organism is known, the name has stuck to this disease. Malaria is a public  health problem in several parts of the country. About 95% population in the country resides in malaria endemic areas and 80% of malaria reported in the country is confined  to areas consisting 20% of population residing in tribal, hilly, difficult and inaccessible areas. Directorate of National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP)  has framed technical guidelines/ policies and provides most of the resources for the programme. Indicators have been developed at national level for monitoring of the programme and there is uniformity in collection, compilation and onward submissions of data. Passive surveillance of malaria is carried out by PHCs, Malaria Clinics, CHCs  and other secondary and tertiary level health institutions that patients visit for treatment. Apart from that, ASHA- a village volunteer is involved in the programme to provide  diagnostic and treatment services at the village level as a part of introduction of intervention like Rapid Diagnostic Tests and use of Artemisinin Combination Therapy (ACT)  for the treatment of Pf cases.The case load, though steady around 2 million cases annually in the late nineties, has shown a declining trend since 2002. When interpreting  API, it is important to evaluate the level of surveillance activity indicated by the annual blood examination rate. At low levels of surveillance, the Slide Positivity Rate (SPR)  may be a better indicator. The SPR (not shown in table) has also shown gradual decline from 3.32 in 1995 to 1.41 in 2010. The reported Pf cases declined from 1.14 million  in 1995 to 0.77 million cases in 2010. However, the Pf % has gradually increased from 39% in 1995 to 52.12% in 2010. Number of reported deaths has been levelling around  1000 per year. The mortality peak in 2006 was related to severe malaria epidemics affecting Assam caused by population movements. Currently, 80.5% of the population of  India lives in malaria risk areas. There are various ways of classifying risk areas. Since 1970s, in India, areas with an API above 2 cases per 1000 population per year have  been classified as high risk and thereby eligible for vector control. The data in following Table 2 shows that Annual Parasite Incidence (API) rate has consistently come down  from 2.12 per thousand in 2001 to 1.30 per thousand in 2010 but confirmed deaths due to malaria have been fluctuating during this period between 1707 and 767. The table  below shows the information on indicators by which malaria prevention/ control activity in India are monitored and evaluated. Slide Positivity Rate (SPR) and Slide falciparum  Rate (SfR) have reduced over the years 2001-2010. It is also observed that ABER has remained within 9.95% to 8.69 % during the period 2001 to 2010.Typically, malaria  produces fever, headache, vomiting and other flu-like symptoms. The parasite infects and destroys red blood cells resulting in easy fatigue-ability due to anemia,  fits/convulsions and loss of consciousness. Parasites are carried by blood to the brain (cerebral malaria) and to other vital organs.  Malaria in pregnancy poses a substantial  risk to the mother, the fetus and the newborn infant. Pregnant women are less capable of coping with and clearing malaria infections, adversely affecting the unborn  fetus.The priority requirement is the early recognition of signs and symptoms of severe malaria that should lead to prompt emergency care of patient. The signs and  symptoms that can be used are non-specific and may be due to any severe febrile disease, which may be severe malaria, other severe febrile disease or concomitant  malaria and severe bacterial infection. Patients with prostration and/or breathing difficulties should, if at all possible, be treated with parenteral antimalarials and antibiotics.  Oral treatment should be substituted as soon as reliably possible. Frequent monitoring of laboratory parameters is essential – blood sugar, blood urine, fluid balance,  associated infection, etc. Drugs that increase gastro intestinal bleeding should be avoided. In areas of low transmission – all age groups are vulnerable but adults develop  more severe and multiple complications. The transmission pattern in most parts of India is usually low, but intense transmission is seen in north-eastern states and large  areas of Orissa, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh. In areas of high transmission – children below 5 years, visitors, migratory labour. Association of  pregnancy-pregnant women are less capable of coping with and clearing malaria infections, adversely affecting the unborn fetus.
