Jagdalpur Branch

National centre for disease control, jagdalpur branch the national centre for diseases control branch at jagdalpur was established as malaria research field station in february 1979, under field operational research scheme (fors) of indian council of medical research (icmr), new delhi. the area was chosen as it forms a contiguous tribal belt of madhya pradesh, orissa, and andhra pradesh and was hard-core for persistent malaria transmission. it was under the administrative control of the director, national institute of communicable diseases, 22, shamnath-marg, delhi-54. the scheme was established with the following objectives:

• to undertake in-depth study on ecology and biology of frank and potential vectors of malaria.
• to devise and demonstrate strategies of integrated control of malaria in problem areas, and
• to collect data for assessing the epidemiological response of malaria to control measures.

the branch had carried out studies like identification of 23 anophelene mosquito species, and establishment of two potent vectors of malaria, i.e. an.culicifacies, &an.fluviatilies, synthetic pyrethroid insecticide trial, antimalaria drug trial, entomological studies pertaining to malaria and susceptibility to insecticides and outbreak investigations. the most important work carried out of training to medical officers & health workers of jagdalpur, kanker and dantewada districts of bastar for prevention and control of malaria, under trained health manpower development. from 1st. march 1988 this field station was taken over by government of india as a branch of nicd, under ministry of health and family welfare, upon the recommendation of the high power board on malaria. thereafter, the scope of the branch has been widened to include studies on other communicable diseases like, acute diarrhoeal diseases, viral hepatitis, gastroenteritis, anthrax, dengue,avian flu, chikunguniya, and viral fever along with morbidity survey of tribal population, epidemiological investigation of outbreaks & deaths due to communicable diseases, are carried out not only in madhya pradesh, & chhattisgarh, but also neighboring state of orissa and andhra pradesh. the unit is involved in yaws eradication programme, since its inception during 1996 and providing training materials, and training to medical officers, & health workers of yaws affected districts of chhattisgarh, orissa, andhra pradesh, and madhya pradesh. service activities and laboratory services like, malaria clinic, and water bacteriology during epidemics are also provided. national centre for disease control, jagdalpur branch office building
