Guide of Malaria Control in Ecuador
Vector control
Biological control
elongated round-headed nematode worms like Mermithidae
fungi like Coelomomyces
bacteria like Bacillus thuringiensis
virus
microsporidian parasites
larvivorous fish
Genetic modification
genetic modificated mosquitoes set free into a wild vector population
offspring inheritance of the parasite-blocking gene
break point in the malaria cycle
reduced number of infected vectors in a wild population
reduced probability of vector-human transmission
Use of insecticide
fumigate your home, specially the bedrooms
insecticide spraying breeding sites
Personal protection
cover body parts that could be bitten with long clothes
pay special attention at night
insecticide impregnated bed nets
use screens, protect windows and space under the doors
Preventive Chemotherapy
Massive Drug Administration: atovaquone and chloroquine at high risk locations and populations
Health Education: provide information to the community
protect yourselves specially at night: vector Anopheles usually bites at night
only females mosquitoes bite
risks of transmission: in order to avoid
blood transfusion -> blood blanks screening
organ transplant
sharing needles
vertical transmission: from mother to child
avoid stagnated water: mosquitoes breed in stagned water
Case Finding
constant surveillance of prevalent locations
rapid diagnosis and proper treatment
epidemiological fence
community involvement
create a trustful data base to keep statistics clear and updated
Funding Research
find local resources through the government
motivate universities and academic-health institutes to start research
find ONG´s funding programms for tropical countries
find private funding resources from pharmaceutical and other labs
