An Opinion based on a Retrospective Study on Vector Management for the Elimination of Visceral Leishmaniasis and its Sustenance

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-azar, VL) is a vector-borne illness that affects people all over the world. Indoor Residual Spray (IRS) has been recognised as tool for eliminating illness. In context of Kala-azar elimination, it critical to address evidence-based studies on IRS success and failure. Methodology: For literature search, Internet was used. The following websites were visited: PubMed, Google Search Engine, ResearchGate, NVBDCP sites, WHO/TDR sites. We utilised keywords like vector, indoor residual spray, eradication visceral leishmaniasis, sand fly ecology in our we also visited library ICMR-RMRI journals which could not find internet. Result: may be shown progress made controlling kala-azar Assam via vector control. This accomplishment, however, duplicated Bihar. looked at dealt with insecticides addition, policies papers produced by Indian government World Health Organization (WHO) from time included. Suboptimal pesticide usage, lack effective M&E, use resistance have concerns control, resulting failure meet elimination objectives. Conclusion: It suggested strong Monitoring Evaluation (M&E) needed particularly during low transmission period. Restrictive insecticide associated other control measures will helpful. Determination infectivity rate accordingly application intervention stop unscrupulous insecticide.
