CLIMATIC CHANGES AND VECTOR BORNE DISEASE TRANSMISSION VBD transmission is dependent upon Sufficient numbers of Anopheline, Culex or Aedes mosquitoes Large enough reservoir of pool of infection in humans and animals Mosquitoes proliferation strongly influenced by: Temperature Rainfall Humidity Wind Sunlight Conserving Now, Preserving Future

CLIMATIC CHANGES IN INDIA Melting glaciers- • Flooding in rivers, valleys followed by diminished flow and droughts General warming in mean annual temperature with decreased range of diurnal • temperature variation Warming of 0.5 0 C by 2030 Maximum increase in northern areas of India Increased precipitation- including monsoons • Fewer rainy days but more days of extreme rainfall events Conserving Now, Preserving Future

IMPACT OF CLIMATIC CHANGES ON VBD IN INDIA Increased number of months of high humidity, precipitation and increased temperature and pooling • of water would lead to: - Seasonality of VBD may change - Early onset of diseases or maybe through out the year - Disease burden may change - Likely higher transmission rates for VBD – severe forms of disease would increase – more Pf malaria - Typical preventive measures like LLIN may not work- people may not sleep under them - Health services capacities to deal with this increase - Quicker onset of drug and insecticide resistance Socioeconomic impact • - Health inequity – poorer more affected - Longer duration of hospitalization – out of pocket expenses would increase - Impact on tourism - Refugees- move towards larger inhabitations – urbanization – poor infrastructure- more Culex mosquitoes– Lymphatic filiarisis - Deforestation, etc Conserving Now, Preserving Future

MITIGATING EFFECT OF CLIMATIC CHANGES ON VBD 1. Adaptability to adjust to climatic changes No prediction models available- research needeD – Longitudinal Studies – changes in VBD based on climatic studies- multi-disciplinary studies – Response mechanisms weaker in less endemic areas as of now – Shifting of human infrastructure based on endemicity – Adding newer skilled staff on environment management in the health programmes – Capacity building and sensitization – Increased resources – budget and manpower – Conserving Now, Preserving Future

MITIGATING EFFECT OF CLIMATIC CHANGES ON VBD 2. Monitoring of climatic changes in co-relation to VBD – Mapping the present landscape in terms water collections, rivers,lakes,etc – Information exchange on climatic changes – rainfall, humidity, floods, glacier melting, etc. with health programmes especially VBD – GIS/spatial maps with climatic changes/water pooling at local levels – Monitoring the VBD incidence in northern areas of India– track of any slight increase- involve all facilities government, private, NGOs, etc. – Mapping/Monitoring the mobility- intrastate, interstate, etc. Conserving Now, Preserving Future

Transmission Windows of malaria based on T & RH (A1B Scenario, by 2030) By 2030s - Few foci in Himalayan region are likely to open; intensity of transmission more in NE states; reduction in east-coast projected Conserving Now, Preserving Future

Transmission Windows of dengue (A1B Scenario) TW criteria: 20-32 0 C Inconclusive, no matching with current distribution Conserving Now, Preserving Future

MITIGATING EFFECT OF CLIMATIC CHANGES ON VBD 3. Changes in the approaches to VBD Highly skilled manpower in the NVBDCP – capacity to predict changes in climate and VBD – Enhancement of staff at State/regional/district levels – Very strong and institutional mechanisms of inter-sectoral coordination – Newer researches on diagnostics, drug and insecticides and better methods to detect resistance – Sensitization and capacity building of northern states – Highly flexible structure – decision making and resource allocation may change from year to year – or with an year as well Conserving Now, Preserving Future
