Abstract
Malaria still remains as the major public health problems in India. Despite numerous control measures, malaria continues to be uninterrupted with high morbidity and mortality in the area of its occurrence. The most affected states are north-eastern states, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Orissa, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. On 10th October 2010, Gadhiganur PHC reported a cluster of malaria cases. The investigation was done in this cluster to identify the etiological agent, source of transmission and propose control measures. We identified 792 cases. Cases started from 10th October and subsequently increased and peaked on 20th October 2010 and declined by 30th of October. The attack rate was highest among the productive age group that is from 11 to 30 years (10.04/100) and males were more affected (11.51/100). On entomological surveillance it is noted that large stagnate water bodies are the potential breeding sources for Anopheles & Culex mosquitoes. To control this outbreak we recommended fogging activity, antilarval and antiadult measures. Awareness regarding vector borne disease was also undertaken in the village.
