Question
Mention the prevention and control efforts by the population to prevent and control several infectious diseases? How can prevention and control of infectious diseases be done?
✓
Answer
→Maintaining personal and community hygiene is important for the prevention and control of many infectious diseases.
→Personal hygiene includes keeping the body clean, consuming pure water for drinking, food, vegetables etc.
→Disposal of sewage and excreta in public sanitation, periodic cleaning and keeping of reservoirs, cisterns, cesspools, tanks etc.
→Furthermore, it is necessary to follow the norms of cleanliness even in public use.
→Such measures are especially indispensable in places where infectious pathogens are spread through food and water like typhoid, amoebic, asceriasis etc.
→Close contact with the person as well as the use of items used in their mouth should be avoided as a treatment for the mentioned remedies used in air-borne diseases like pneumonia and cold.
→In insect-borne diseases like malaria and filariasis, the control and destruction of vectors and their breeding sites is essential.
→To achieve this purpose, water should not be allowed to accumulate in and around the residential area. Regular cleaning of the cooler used in the house is also a must.
→Use Gambusia fish which eat mosquito eggs.
→Places like pits, drainage, mud should be sprayed with pesticides.
