PURPOSE OF THE LONG TERM ACTION PLAN
• Vellore (1956) - Dengue first reported
• 1963-1964 - initial epidemic of dengue fever - Eastern Coast of India
• Spread northwards to reach Delhi in 1967 and Kanpur in 1968.
• Simultaneously - southern part of the country and gradually the whole country involved
• 1991- 2006 – 31 out of 35 states dengue cases reported
5
PURPOSE OF THE LONG TERM ACTION PLAN
• Dengue transmission has shown substantial increase over years
• Government of India has Developed a Long Term Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Dengue in the country and sent to the State(s) on January 2007 for implementation.
6
LONG TERM ACTION PLAN FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF
DENGUE
• Dengue Fever & Dengue hemorrhagic fever – ever increasing endemicity in India.
• Both Dengue and Chikungunya are Vector Borne disease and are caused by viruses carried by same Mosquito [Aedes aegypti].
• Dengue/ DHF is being managed as a part of National Vector Disease Control Programme (NVBCDP).
• Chikungunya fever has occurred in epidemic form in the year of 2006 after about 30 years.
7
LONG TERM ACTION PLAN FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF
DENGUE• Chikungunya was not a part of the National Vector
Borne Disease Control but the strategies for its prevention and control is similar to that of Dengue prevention and control strategies as both the disease are caused by the same Vector (Mosquito) i.e. Aedes aegypti.
8
LONG TERM ACTION PLAN FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF
DENGUE• The long term strategies for prevention and
control of DF/DHF/DSS and Chikungunya in India is three-pronged : (2007-2010)
1.Early case reporting & management
2.Integrated Vector Management
3.Supporting Interventions
9

DENGUE VACCINE
OVERVIEW
• Significant progress made.
• Researchers, funding agencies, policy makers and vaccine manufacturers – attracted by unchecked spread of dengue worldwide
• Public private partnerships facilitated the process of product development
40
DENGUE VACCINE
PRODUCT & ITS DEVELOPMENT
• Primary immunological mechanism – virus neutralization through circulating anti bodies
• Vaccine – needs to protect against all 4 serotypes of virus strain
41
DENGUE VACCINE
• 4 types of vaccines under development – – Live attenuated vaccine
– Chimeric live attenuated vaccine
– Inactivated or sub unit vaccine
– Nucleic acid based vaccine
42
LIVE ATTENUATED - DENGUE VACCINE
• Induce durable humoral & cellular immune response
• Pr M & E (structural genes) of each of 4 dengue virus inserted into yellow fever 17D vaccine
• 2 doses required for high rates of tetravalent neutralizing antibodies
43
CHALLENGES FOR LIVE ATTENUATED VACCINE• Major problem - Need to develop not one but
four immunogen
• Interefence between 4 vaccine virus must be avoided
• Lack of validated correlate of protection – mechanism of protective immunity not fully understood
• Antibody dependant immune enhancement - DHF
44
VACCINE UTILIZATION
• Cost effectiveness, outcome of financial & operational analysis
• Infants – need to carry out vaccination on a schedule compatible with others
• Research to be continued
45
INDIA UPDATE ON DENGUE VACCINE• Indian scientists have achieved an important
breakthrough in their efforts to develop a vaccine to prevent the deadly dengue. Supported by the Department of Biotechnology under the Ministry of Science & Technology, scientists at International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in New Delhi have developed a non-infectious dengue vaccine from yeast.
India today, New Delhi, September 20, 2013
46
INDIA UPDATE ON DENGUE VACCINE• "Search for a dengue vaccine has been going on
across the world for past several decades. We, at our centre, started experiments seven years ago. The new technology we have used, i.e. recombinant DNA technology, to develop the dengue vaccine is a breakthrough," said Dr Navin Khanna, group leader of Recombinant Gene Products Group, ICGEB.

REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE FEVER
• Demographic & Societal Changes – – Unplanned & uncontrolled urbanization
– Population growth
– Restraints on civic amenities – water supply, solid waste disposal
– Increase in breeding potential of vector species
– Improved communication facilities- rapid transporatation – establish in rural area
48
REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE FEVER
• Effective mosquito control based on source reduction – non existent in endemic areas
• Solid waste management – – Increase in use of plastics, paper cups, tyres
– Facilitate breeding
– Insufficient solid waste collection & management
49
REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE FEVER
• Increased population management –
• Significant increase in plantations – – Increased demand for rubber
– Rubber plantation increased
50
REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE FEVER• Uncontrolled urbanization
• Inadequate environment management
• Population movements• Growth in global air traffic
• Increase in maritime passenger and cargo traffic
• Climate change
51
REASONS FOR RE EMERGENCE
• Unrestrained production and use of non biodegradable food and drink packaging like plastic, tetra packs
• Unmonitored use and abandoning of containers, drums (construction site)
52
RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE: INADEQUATE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
• Inefficient waste collection and management
• Non biodegradable containers
• Improper tyre disposal
• Insufficient and inadequate water distribution
• Inadequate management of water storage & disposal
53
RE EMERGENCE OF DENGUE: POPULATION MOVEMENTS• Migration : > 750 million people annually
cross international borders
• Increase in rural migration to urban areas
• Ever increasing international travelers across the globe
54
GROWTH IN GLOBAL AIR TRAFFIC
55
INCREASE IN MARITIME PASSENGER & CARGO TRAFFIC
56
CLIMATE CHANGE
57
CLIMATE CHANGE
• Viral incubation in mosquito quickens
• Shorten mosquito breeding cycle
• Increase mosquito feeding frequency
• More efficient transmission of dengue/chikungunya virus from mosquito to man
58
OBSTACLE IN AEDES CONTROL
• Community participation in dengue prevention & control is limited.
• Local health services are politically driven now and are not sufficiently established
• Water supply and solid waste management are limited in high risk areas
• Lack of inter sectoral co ordination
• Insufficient operational research on individual and community based strategies
59
A FEW SUGGESTIONS – MAINTENANCE OF WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
60
A FEW SUGGESTIONS – ESTABLISHING PROPER DRAINAGE SYSTEM
61
BBMP and BWSSB should formulate an integrated approach programme for water supply, sewerage, drainage and waste management so as to keep the environment free from the risks of vector breeding/growth
Storm water drains should be invariably be covered and be maintained by the way ofRegular cleaning, de-silting etc to prevent stagnation of water
Large storm water drains should be suitably channeled and cleaned regularly to facilitate adequate velocity for flow of waste water
A FEW SUGGESTIONS – CONSTRUCTION SITE
62
Water stagnation in construction areas should be cleared
Clearance of garbage in vacant sites at proper intervals of time to avoid breeding of Aedes mosquito
A FEW SUGGESTIONS – MODEL CIVIC BYELAWS
63Standard design for lids for over head tanks and cisterns
CONCLUSION
• Dengue virus has become a fatal disease
• Small creatures (mosquito) is posing a big threat of late
• Re emergence and spread of dengue is a serious issue
• Role of vaccine is still a question though many advancements in vaccine manufacture is promising

Stagnant water sources (heavy rainfall) – vector breeding- increased incidence of dengue - indicate that preventive measures against dengue infection should probably come into full-swing during the post-monsoon months.Presence of some dengue IgM positive cases even during dry months - reflective of the year-round activity of the mosquito vector. Minimal collections of water sources (like stagnating water within indoor plants) – favour breeding of the vector thereby helping in the maintenance of the vector population throughout the year.
68
• Curtailment of outdoor playing activities (especially during the post-monsoon months) by children could be done.
• As the mosquito vector exhibits activity during the dusk, this could reduce probably to a great extent the chances of children getting exposed to the vector.

Dengue vaccine
• the pathogenesis of DHF is not fully known• Animal model – absent• a tetravalent vaccine that prevents infection with all
four DV serotypes - needed.• Natural• DV infection induces long-lasting protective immunity-
same serotype. • A tetravalent formulation that retains the
immunogenicity of all four serotypes has proven difficult, requiring the use of more complicated, multiple dose immunization regimens.
