1. Leptospirosis has become endemic
in Sindhudurg District. Even in
Andaman, they have not been able
to obtain through success,
therefore copying their prevention
approach will not be sufficient. We
must innovate and find out
solution.• Leptospirosis has become endemic in Sindhudurg District. Even in Andaman, they have not been able to obtain through success, therefore copying their prevention approach will not be

should form a steering committee.

5. The wild rat {ratus ratus },s urine
infects water reservoir.Coming in
contact with such infected water
reservoirs pose the risk of
leptospirosis to the people

6. Snake is natural enemy of
rats

7. , people have tendency to kill snakes. If
we train few snake friend , take a
village wise drive that snake is farmers
friend ,it is bound to pay us rich
dividends in terms of increased food
grains , improving ecology and
decreasing risk of infecting water
reservoirs .the benefits are manifolds

8. I have used only one determinants of
leptospirosis control. As said with
every rupee spend in disaster
management fetches us forty rupees
in return .In this case every rupee
spend will fetch us four hundred
rupees i.e. to say that if we spend one
lakh rupees we will get back four
crores rupees)

9. Use Age Old Wisdom for
Leptospirosis Control

10. In my childhood Days, my
grandfather was an agriculturist.
At that time every farm worker
while retiring from farm work
used to wash their hands and foot
by warm water.

of Disease causing organism. Now
this can be leptospira

again done to limit contact time
with mud and also a principal of
operational research is hidden .

15. The TIME is an important indicator
at the time of harvesting , people
(farm workers ) work overtime ,
they get fatigued and lead to
temporary loss of immunity this is
again a PreDisposing factor for
acquiring existing infections.
• The TIME is an important indicator at the time of harvesting , people (farm workers ) work overtime , they get fatigued and lead to temporary loss of immunity this is again a

16. That means it the highly
important that the agriculturist
should be taught the right method
of harvesting , the onus of doing
these things goes with the
Agriculture Department

20. Leptospirosis is caused by
pathognomic leptospira. The
sindhudurg soil is at places allows
high percolation.

21. Sometimes artificially created
ditches, sometimes wells (unused
and people want to close), seldom
septic tank system more than 6
feet deep is a cause of concern
• Sometimes artificially created ditches, sometimes wells (unused and people want to close), seldom septic tank system more than 6 feet deep is a cause of concern

22. People throw solid waste in ditches,
sometimes in wells wanted to be filled
and closed, these are the examples
where there are chances that
groundwater reservoirs get infected.
(Here I am not talking of surface water
or sub soil waters) the places of such
percolations where solid waste
percolations are active can be
identified and necessary precautions
may be taken

further research needed)
