Abstract

The transmission of vector-borne infections after an earthquake is related to the changes in the environment caused by the earthquake. The displacement of thousands of people, especially in areas where vector-borne diseases are endemic, can significantly increase human exposure to mosquitoes and other vectors and the pathogens they may carry in overcrowded environments and inappropriate temporary shelters, leading to an increase in human infection cases. The devastating earthquakes in Türkiye on 6 February 2023 pose a risk of the spread and outbreaks of vector-borne infections such as cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and malaria, which are endemic in the region. Public health authorities should prioritise surveillance in all earthquake-affected areas. Immediate detection and identification of local vector species, monitor environmental conditions and potential breeding grounds, insecticide application and use of mosquito nets and development of interventions to prevent the emergence of vector-borne infections are essential. Case diagnosis and treatment follow-up, prophylaxis, training of the public and health personnel, improving temporary shelter conditions and facilitating access to clean drinking water and health services are essential to minimise the impact of vector-borne infections in post-earthquake situations.

地震后媒介传播的寄生虫感染
地震后病媒传染病的传播与地震引起的环境变化有关。成千上万人流离失所,特别是在病媒传播疾病流行的地区,这可能大大增加人类在过度拥挤的环境和不适当的临时住所中接触蚊子和其他病媒及其可能携带的病原体的机会,导致人类感染病例增加。2023年2月6日在斯里兰卡发生的破坏性地震有可能导致该区域流行的皮肤利什曼病和疟疾等病媒传播感染的传播和暴发。公共卫生当局应优先在所有地震灾区进行监测。必须立即发现和确定当地的病媒物种,监测环境条件和潜在的繁殖地,施用杀虫剂和使用蚊帐,以及制定预防病媒传播感染的干预措施。病例诊断和后续治疗、预防、培训公众和卫生人员、改善临时住所条件以及便利获得清洁饮用水和卫生服务,对于尽量减少震后病媒传播感染的影响至关重要。
