Mode of Transmission
• Direct contact – man to man (close contact)
• Mechanical – Agent transmitted mechanically
• Biological – Disease agent either multiply or undergoes some
developmental change
Biological Transmission
• Propagative – Multiplies in the body of vector no cyclical
change (Plague)
• Cyclo - propagative – Undergoes cyclical change & multiplies
(Malaria)
• Cyclo - developmental – Undergoes cyclical change but no
multiplication (Filariasis)
Terminologies
Vector:
• An arthropod or other invertebrate which transmits infection by
inoculation through the skin or mucous membrane by biting or by
deposit of infective materials on the skin or on food or other objects.
Extrinsic incubation period:
• The period of time necessary fir the development of the disease
agent in the arthropod host.|
Terminologies
Definitive host
• The host in which the sexual cycle of the agent occurs
Indeterminate host
• The host in which the asexual cycle of the agent occurs
Infestation
• The lodgement, development and reproduction of arthropod on the
surface of the body or in the clothing
Habits of mosquitoes
• Feeding habits
• Females are haematophagous (for development of eggs),
Anthrophilic , Zoophilic or both
• Time of biting
• Evening or early night or Day biters
Habits of mosquitoes
• Resting habits
• Endophilic – Dark corners, Upper wall, behind pictures, under
furnitures
• Exophilic – Vegetation, shrubs, tree holes, cattle sheds , wells
Habits of mosquitoes
• Breeding habits
• Anopheles – Clean water
• Culex – Dirty & polluted water
• Aedes – Artificially collected water
• Mansonia – Water containing aquatic vegetation
Habits of mosquitoes
• Dispersal – Range of flight 11 km
• Life span – 8 – 34
Anopheles mosquito
• Usually breeds in fresh, unpolluted and oxygenated water.
• An. subpictus breeds in polluted water.
• It lays 150 eggs once in 3 days.
• Its life span is up to 2-3 weeks.
• Identification:
• It has spotted wings.
Anopheles
Egg Single egg
Culex mosquito
• Light brown in colour.
• Body segments having white bands but none on the legs.
• It breeds in polluted water.
• Common breeding sites:
• wet pit latrines, septic tanks, burrow pits, cess pools, drains, disused
wells and paddy fields.
Culex mosquito
• Bites maximum during mid night.
• Host: wild birds, cows, horses and man.
• These are weak fliers it can fly up to 2 miles.
• A single female can lay over 200 eggs at a time.
• These eggs can survive for more than five years.
• Wings are unspotted.
• The life span is 8 to 34 days.
Aedes mosquito
• The thorax and abdomen of the mosquitoes having black, white or
silvery scales. So it is also called as Indian Tiger mosquito.
• The legs having black and white rings.
• It is a day biting mosquito.
