2 Problems of vector borne diseases Malaria; Leishmaniasis; Rift Valley Fever; Dengue Fever; Other vectors/ Pest of Public Health importance.

3 Available methods for vector control Chemical Control (residual house spraying, outdoor fumigation, long lasting insecticide residual bed nets, larvaciding and personal protection); Environmental Management; Biological Control. Chemical control is the main method

4 Pesticides that are used to control pests of public health significance. They include: vector control pesticides (Mosquitoes, Flies, etc.); household insecticides (Flies, Cockroaches, Bed Bugs, etc.); professional pest management pesticides (Termites and structural pests in homes, commercial and

5 (A) Countries which have eliminated malaria (B) Countries with very limited malaria transmission in residual foci (C) Countries with low Malaria burden limited to certain Areas and with effective malaria programmes (D) Countries with moderate/ high malaria burden, weak health system and/or complex emergencies

6 A: Countries: Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libyan Jamahiriya, Palestine, Qatar, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates B: Countries: Egypt, Morocco, Oman and Syrian Arab Republic C: Countries: Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia D: Countries: Afghanistan, Djibouti, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen

7 Malaria Cases at the Regional Level 15 Millions case of malaria annually cases of death annually. 90% of the cases just in 5 countries (Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan and Djibouti)

8 Situation of malaria in the Arabian Peninsula Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and United Arab Emirates are malaria free. Oman eliminated malaria. Saudi Arabia has endemic foci in Jazan province bordering Yemen. Yemen is highly endemic with malaria.

13 Malaria in Yemen 60% of Yemen s population is vulnerable to malaria infection. 233,299 malaria cases reported in Yemen in WHO estimates that the annual malaria incidence in Yemen ranges between 800,000 and 900,000 malaria cases. Annual deaths from malaria are around 1% of the infected cases persons die annually.
