DHIS2 standard modules for entomology and vector control
The modules and the implementation support tools will be presented at the DHIS2 2021 conference Thursday at 14:00 in the Malaria Session!
The DHIS2 standard modules for entomology and vector contro have been developed over the last 2 years to support ministries of health to collect and interpret data from several entomological surveillance and vector control activities. They are the result of a collaborative effort between the WHO Global Malaria Program, Population Service International (PSI), U.S. President's Malaria Initiative- VectorLink Project, National Malaria Control Programs and DHIS2 users around the world!
The modules are developed based on WHO data collection recommendations and are composed of event and tracker programs and standard indicators.
They over covering the following activities:
insecticide treated nets (ITN) mass distribution campaigns,
ITN bioefficacy monitoring,
indoor residual spraying (IRS) campaigns,
IRS residual efficacy monitoring,
insecticide resistance monitoring,
adult mosquito surveillance and identification, including a tracker to capture individual mosquito data (e.g. laboratory results such as sporozoite presence, molecular ID, resistance mechanisms, morphological identification and parity)
monitoring and treatment of mosquito larval habitats.
Metadata configuration packages are available for DHIS2 versions 2.31, 2.32, 2.33 and 2.34 and 2.36.
The modules are being continuously improved to better address country needs and expanded to include new entomological surveillance procedures as they are developed.
The modules are focused on Anopheles surveillance and control, but work is underway to expand them to cover other vectors with a view to support integrated vector surveillance and control
