34 AEDES LARVAL SURVEY 29 June 2017

35 AEDES LARVAL SURVEY

36 AEDES LARVAL SURVEY! General purposes of surveillance activities are to:! Determine the key containers in the domestic environments so that larval source reduction by community participation may be carried out through health education.! Pinpoint high-risk areas, especially those with high vector density, by plotting vector distribution and numbers of DHF cases on maps. These areas serve as priority areas for control during normal conditions especially during epidemics.! Determine seasonal population fluctuations for special emphasis on control and alertness during peak vector periods.! Monitor the impact of vector control interventions including community participation and insecticidal space spraying on vector population.! Recognize significant changes in vector density, distribution, insecticide susceptibility and vectorial capacity to plan control strategy.

57 ECTO- PARASITE EXAMINATION 30 June 2017

58 SUMMARY! Indirect examination using samples acquired from trapped rodents! Direct examination using flagging and dragging methods

59 INDIRECT ECTOPARASITE EXAMINATION! Using rodent trapped in the sta! traps around RTIC! Rodent species of Rattus rattus

60 INDIRECT ECTOPARASITE EXAMINATION

61 INDIRECT ECTOPARASITE EXAMINATION

62 MICROSCOPIC FINDINGS Mites found: 30

63 MICROSCOPIC FINDINGS

64 DIRECT ECTOPARASITE SURVEY

65 DIRECT ECTOPARASITE SURVEY! During the direct ectoparasite survey, our group found several ectoparasites from dragging and flagging method.! We performed flagging and dragging on the pavement and on the bushes at the forest edge located behind the RTIC venue during the day (around 11 a.m.).! We were not able to identify the ectoparasites due to limited time.

66 OVERALL SUMMARY

67 FIELD STUDY OVERALL SUMMARY 1. Stool examination: total 24 samples, among which 12 were found positive for parasites and were treated accordingly. 2. Physical examination and blood film examination: total 39 patients; one interesting case with Plasmodium vivax found on blood film examination. 3. Aedes larval survey: the surveyed area is categorized as high risk area for dengue transmission. 4. Rodent trapping and collection: 2 out of 7 traps were positive. 5. Ectoparasite examination: 30 mites were found from one trapped rodent.

68 DIFFICULTIES DURING ACTIVITIES 1. Stool examination: the direct smears dried very quickly; took too much time to examine samples. 2. Physical examination: doctor-patient communication (language barrier); student role rotation. 3. Blood film examination: took too much time to examine samples. 4. Aedes larval survey: identify clearly the purpose of water containers, especially those that were located outdoor. 5. Rodent trapping and collection: no significant issues encountered. 6. Ectoparasite examination: identification of ectoparasites.

69 SUGGESTIONS 1. Stool examination: direct smear examination should be performed soon after the smear is ready; students need to take note on macroscopic appearance of stool samples; students need to practice more to improve microscopic examination skills. 2. Physical examination: time management, redistribution of students role. 3. Blood film examination: students need to practice more to improve microscopic examination skills. 4. Aedes larval survey: simplify the classification of types of water containers. 5. Ectoparasite examination: collect the suspected ectoparasites with little sheets of paper to collect more samples in indirect examination.

70 LEARNING EXPERIENCES! Improve knowledge about health system, especially local primary medical services and referral system as well.! Being able to work and experience providing health services to community in real setting.! Being able to plan and experience a group work, especially during working in the community.! Being able to apply previously learned knowledge from the classes into the real setting.! Strengthening the bond among students and sta!.! Being able to learn about other culture.
