Abstract
Vector-borne illnesses are a prevalent
and growing medical issue. Climate change has a significant effect on a
population's susceptibility to vector-borne illnesses. Infectious diseases
known as vector-borne diseases are those that spread to people and animals when
bitten by infected arthropods, including sandflies, ticks, fleas, and
mosquitoes. These arthropods behave as vectors by transporting and transferring
infections, including bacteria, parasites, and viruses, from one host to
another. Vector-borne illnesses can cause a variety of ailments, ranging from
mild to severe and even fatal disorders, making them a major global public
health concern. A total of 514 people participated in this cross-sectional
study on their perceptions of and readiness for the prevention of vector-borne
diseases in the chosen coastal regions of Odisha. The data collection was
completed and documented. Frequency and percentage were used in the analysis to
determine the relationship between the variables and perception of vector-borne
illnesses. According to the study results, 42% of people knew of the anopheles
mosquito and 54% were ignorant of the vector-borne illnesses that occurred
during and after the monsoon. It is imperative that residents of various
epidemic areas with vector-borne diseases become more knowledgeable about
mosquito management and vector-borne disease prevention in designated
locations.
