Challenges of Vector-borne Diseases Control at the Flood Disaster of Khuzestan Province in 2019 According to Health Center Experts
Authors
Abstract:
Background and Aim: Natural disasters such as floods provide the basis for spreading communicable diseases by causing environmental changes. According to health center experts, this study aims to investigate the common infectious diseases during floods in Khuzestan Province in 2009 and the strategies and challenges to control them. Methods: This research is a descriptive survey using a qualitative method. The statistical population in the qualitative section included 15 experts from health centers in Khuzestan Province with a history of flooded areas who were purposively selected by the snowball technique. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview. Results: Qualitative data were categorized into 5 categories of prevalent arthropods, prevalent vector-borne diseases during floods, vector control strategies, control challenges and limitations, and organs involved in carrier control programs. The most common arthropods were lice, mites, mosquitoes, flies, and scorpions. The most prevalent vector-borne diseases during the flood were scabies, pediculosis, mosquito bites, and scorpions. The most important challenge was the lack of national disaster vector control guidelines. Conclusion: Considering the history of floods and health problems caused by these natural disasters, it is necessary to recognize the common vector-borne diseases, develop national guidelines, and provide solutions to deal with them.
