Public Health in Namon District shows innovation “Pla Kradi eats larvae” to reduce the problem of “dengue fever” in the area, helping dengue patients decrease in 3 years from 20-30 cases to 5 cases, the rate of sickness per 100,000 population has decreased by 83%. Obtained 184.5 birds per day. The house mosquito larvae index decreased from 9.82 to 2.36. The villagers were satisfied with the control of the larvae better than Sand Temifos. Prepare a plan to control the epidemic in the area in year 66
Mr. Suphot Saebbangban, Nabon District Public Health, Kalasin Province, presented innovations “Pla Kradi eats larvae” to solve the problem of dengue fever, Namon District, Kalasin Province at the academic meeting of the Ministry of Public Health for the year 2022 recently that before developing innovations, Kadi eats larvae. The efficacy of 13 species of surface prey fish was tested. It was found that cichlids were able to eat the most 931.54 larvae per day, followed by kradi, which could eat 184.5 larvae per day, and the goby could eat 180.34 larvae per day. As for the reason for choosing Pla Kradi as an innovation to reduce dengue fever in the area Because Pla Kradee is smaller than Doctor Fish. easier to find eat larvae quickly If the larvae are less than one day, they will eat all the larvae. People have to take care of them all the time. Have to watch to see if the water tank is almost full or not. If the jar is full, the fish will jump out. Or if the larvae run out, we have to keep feeding the Kradi. If to be applied VHV had to check to see if there were any fish left over or not. Can’t let the water fill the jar
Mr. Supot said For research studies, innovation, can larvae eat Kradi help reduce the problem of dengue fever in the area or not? It is a participatory measure with the community. by operating the whole district during the pandemic which in our Nabon area will be epidemic every other year, that is, the epidemic during the even-numbered year We will operate the entire district. The operation starts from driving innovation of larvae eating fish from the district into the community. Support the community’s need to use pla kradi instead of the chemical sand temephos. Build network and community participation in fishing for kradi together and distributing them in the community. From the operation during the year 2019-2021, it was found that the number of dengue fever patients in the Namon district continued to decline, with 21 cases in 2019, 36 in 2020, and in 2021, only 5 were found. No reports were found. The death toll for the year 2021 of 5 dengue cases was 12.76 cases per 100,000 population. 83.3% lower than the 5-year median
In addition, from the experiment of using fish larvae to eat larvae in a sample of 585 households during 2019-2021, it was found that the mosquito larvae index (HI) in the house was also decreased, which were 9.82, 6.52 and 2.36, respectively, while The prevalence of Aedes per container (CI) larvae were 8.67, 8.58 and 2.36, respectively. The overall satisfaction score test for this innovation found that satisfaction in 2021 compared to 2019 increased both The five aspects with the highest average score were efficiency of fish larvae innovation, better control of larvae than Sai Temifos. In 2022, dengue fever is completely gone, but in 2023, an outbreak is expected and it is in the planning process. Consequently, the Ministry of Public Health has continued to deal with larvae eating fish.
