Background & objectives: Although the known valuable of long-lasting insecticidal nets in providing safety against malaria. Just about 3149 LLINs were distributed in 2018 as an intervention implement against malaria spread in 8 villages under sub health centre Chiyadand, primary health centre Chirpani of Pandaria sub-district, Kabirdham district in Chhattisgarh, India. This present study assessed effect of positive cases at two different ecological parts (Hilly and Land) after LLIN distribution, IEC and explanation determinants.
Methods: This study was done to become aware of high risk of malaria in Particularly Vulnerable Baiga Tribe and categorize the geographic risk factors. A cross-sectional village study was in 8 study villages of different locality compare between the years 2017 to 2019. Each village’s household surveyed where people suffer to fever using M1, interviewed with travel history of Positive cases using M3 and LLIN monitoring format structured according NVBDCP guidelines.
Results: 738 households of Baiga tribes out of 1131 households were distributed LLIN in 8 villages. Total 65% baiga tribe is live at study villages. In 2017, 785 Malaria positive (499 in hilly villages and 286 in land villages) cases in the households during the survey and in sub health centre while In 2018, only 149 cases founded (43 in hilly villages and 106 in land villages) just about 81% positive cases decreased. In 2019, only 34 positive cases (19 in hilly villages and 15 in land villages) reported just 22.81% positive cases decreased after LLIN distribution.
Interpretation & Conclusion: Health education campaigns and creating awareness about the benefit of sleeping under the LLINs in providing safety all the members of the family to have an epidemiological impact of this intervention at the community level.
