Prevalence of Visceral Leishmaniasis, Risk Factors and Associated Disorders in Fulbaria, Mymensingh District

National Journal of Life Sciences, Vol. 16(1&2) 2019 : 37-42 ISSN : 0972-995X (Print), 2321-7960 (Online) PREVALENCE OF VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS, RISK FACTORS AND ASSOCIATED DISORDERS IN FULBARIA, MYMENSINGH DISTRICT ANINDITA RANI BHOWMICK and HAMIDA KHANUM* Department of Zoology, University of Dhaka, Dhaka (Bangladesh) ABSTRACT : A total of 215 cases were recorded from the rural areas of Fulbaria upazila. The prevalence of kala-azar was higher in male (51.22%) than female (36.96%). In the area, 10.1-20 years age group was the most prevalent group and the prevalence was found to decrease with the increase of age. Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL) was developed in 38.14% of KA patients of Fulbaria upazila. In case of living in mud house, the prevalence of KA was found 63.89% and when living in tin shed house but with earthen ﬂoor, the prevalence was 58.79%. On the other hand, 10.31% had associated with single infection, 21.65% double infection and 68.04% had multiple infection. Living in proximity to prior case, climatic change, racked mud house, humid area, cattle sheds made of cracked mud walls, poor economical condition, malnutrition, illiteracy, incomplete treatment, lack of awareness and knowledge regarding kala azar were the risk factors. Total 45 professionals were interviewed in the Upazila Health Complex and Upazila Sub- Centers of the study area through a preset questionnaire. Of them, 71.11% had the appropriate acquaintance about the agent (Leishmania donovani) of kala-azar and 35.29% professionals had the correct comprehension regarding the reservoir of kala-azar (man). Most of them (91.11%) recommended rK 39 dipstick test as the single most important di- agnostic blood test and Miltefosine and Amphotericin B are the most recommended drugs for treatment of kala-azar. About 54.12% professionals reported death as a consequence of not treating kala-azar. Key words : Prevalence, Visceral leishmaniasis, Risks, Disorders..

Exploring Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Visceral Leishmaniasis In
Dewan et al. Tropical Medicine and Health (2017) 45:29 Tropical Medicine DOI 10.1186/s41182-017-0069-2 and Health RESEARCH Open Access Exploring spatial and temporal patterns of visceral leishmaniasis in endemic areas of Bangladesh Ashraf Dewan1, Abu Yousuf Md Abdullah2*, Md Rakibul Islam Shogib3, Razimul Karim4 and Md Masudur Rahman5 Abstract Background: Visceral leishmaniasis is a considerable public health burden on the Indian subcontinent. The disease is highly endemic in the north-central part of Bangladesh, affecting the poorest and most marginalized communities. Despite the fact that visceral leishmaniasis (VL) results in mortality, severe morbidity, and socioeconomic stress in the region, the spatiotemporal dynamics of the disease have largely remained unexplored, especially in Bangladesh. Methods: Monthly VL cases between 2010 and 2014, obtained from subdistrict hospitals, were studied in this work. Both global and local spatial autocorrelation techniques were used to identify spatial heterogeneity of the disease. In addition, a spatial scan test was used to identify statistically significant space-time clusters in endemic locations of Bangladesh. Results: Global and local spatial autocorrelation indicated that the distribution of VL was spatially autocorrelated, exhibiting both contiguous and relocation-type of diffusion; however, the former was the main type of VL spread in the study area. The spatial scan test revealed that the disease had ten times higher incidence rate within the clusters than in non-cluster zones. Both tests identified clusters in the same geographic areas, despite the differences in their algorithm and cluster detection approach. Conclusion: The cluster maps, generated in this work, can be used by public health officials to prioritize areas for intervention.

Changes of Land Use in Fulbaria and Trishal Upazila of Mymensingh District of Bangladesh

Shawkhatuzzaman2 1Department of Soil Science, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, and 2Soil Resource Development Institute, Mymensingh-2200, Bangladesh, *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract There is no reliable information till now on the conversion rate of agricultural land in Bangladesh into different non agricultural sectors. The study was undertaken to estimate the present land use pattern and to calculate the changes in land use of agricultural and non-agricultural field over time using aerial photographs of Trishal and Fulbaria upazila of Mymensingh district. Two series of aerial photographs of both upazilas from 1983 and 2000 at scales of 1:40,000 and 1:25,000, respectively, were studied. Land use categories were calculated by random line drawing method on effective areas of aerial photograph. In 1983, Total agricultural and non-agricultural land of Trishal upazila were found 29,505 and 4,095 ha accounting 87.81 and 12.2% of total land area, respectively. In Fulbaria upazila for the same year, it was 35,611 and 4,258 ha accounting 89.3% and 10.7% of total land area, respectively,. An amount of about 3545 and 3637 ha agricultural land was transformed into non-agricultural land in Trishal and Fulbaria upazila, respectively, within a period of 17 years. The rate of decreasing agricultural land to non agricultural land in Trishal and Fulbaria upazila was estimated to be 0.62 and 0.54% /annum, respectively.
