  3. Learning Objectives Given a VecTOR test kit know: • components • use • role in surveillance program • limitations

  4. Do nothing Focus surveillance on suspected risk areas Conduct tests in order to predict malaria risk Malaria Adult Mosquito Surveillance Plan Alternatives

  5. Malaria Surveillance Considerations • Vector • Does it bite humans • Can it transmit malaria to humans • Is there a high vector abundance • Environmental Factors • Usually low to moderate illness level in endemic areas • Epidemic outbreaks are likely when conditions are suitable • Outbreaks can occur when climate is favorable for short periods • Host • Is there immediate onset of disease (10-20 days) or latent disease manifestation (6-9 months - e.g. Korea) • Is there low level immunity in host population

  6. Adult Mosquito Surveillance(Mosquito Magnet)

  7. Adult Mosquito Surveillance(Pickle Jar”, ABC, CDC and Shannon Traps)

  8. Malaria Identification & Distribution • Identify potential malaria high-risk areas • Collect and identify adult mosquitoes • Perform screening with VecTOR kit • Follow up with PCR confirmation • Define high risk areas • Initiate targeted control operations • Integrate into a GIS platform to facilitate an effective management program

  16. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Specimen Collection and Preparation • Use appropriate collection methods to capture female Anopheline species known to be malaria vectors • Collected Anopheles spp. should be immediately identified and tested or, • If not immediately tested, stored at -20 deg C until they can be processed

  17. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Materials Provided • Assay dipsticks (20) in canister with desiccant cap • 1 Bottle of grinding Solution • 20 Conical Tubes

  18. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Materials Provided, Cont’d • 2 Grinders • 1 dropper cap • 2 ten-hole tube stands

  19. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Materials Required but Not Provided: • Mosquito keys • Mosquito Collection/Pooling Log Sheet • Permanent Marker • Timing Device • Wash bottle • Motorized grinder (optional)

  20. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Materials Required but Not Provided: • Forceps • Latex gloves • Coolers/gel packs • White enamel or plastic sorting tray • Dissecting Scope w/light source

  21. Malaria VecTOR Kit Grinding Solution: • Before use: • Mix gently, inverting the bottle five times • When dispensing drops: • Hold the bottle in an upside-down, vertical position • Squeeze the white portion of the dropper cap just above the the tip. • Holding the bottle at an angle will cause the size of the drops to vary, causing inconsistent solution dispensing

  22. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Procedure: • Place 1-10 female Anopheline mosquitoes into conical grinding tube • Label tube with pool number • Place the tube in the stand • Dispense 13 drops of grinding solution into the tube

  23. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Procedure Continued: • Place pestle into the grinding tube • Rotate it vigorously to grind up the mosquitoes • Wash the pestle between samples (tubes)

  24. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Procedure Continued: • Remove test strip (dipstick) from container • Replace desiccant cap on canister to protect remaining test strips • Label pool number on the back side of test strip • Place test strip in tube labeled with corresponding pool number

  25. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Procedure Continued: • Wait 15 minutes for test to be complete – read results • (Results should be read within 30 minutes. After 30 minutes dipsticks turn gray- and results can be obscured.) • DO NOT read dipsticks after they dry.

  26. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Procedure: • Determine test results • Remove test strip • Compare test strip to pictorial sample in the VecTOR Kit instructions • Presence of only a control line indicates a negative result • Test results are not valid if the control line does not develop

  27. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Procedure: • Presence one or more lines (other than control) indicates • the presence one or more malaria strains: • Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax 210, or P. vivax 247.

  28. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Dipsticks can • be saved, • taped to a • sheet of paper • with pertinent • information added, • as a record of assay • results

  29. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Limitations: • Can not test more than 10 mosquitoes per test • Mosquito identification • ID to genus vs. ID to species • Screening Tool • Can not be confirmed by PCR in a Laboratory from strip (additional mosquito material is needed)

  30. Malaria VecTOR Kit • Used pipette tips, dipsticks, and sample • tubes can all be disposed of in regular • trash (all non-hazardous)

  31. Malaria VecTOR Kit • PM Dets, ASMB PM Sec, Div PM Sec, Sep Bde PM Sec, SF Group PM, Civil Affairs Teams • Another tool in your tool box • Can be used to test field collections of Anopheline mosquitoes • Hone your mosquito ID capability • Practice Malaria vector surveillance • Expect low infection rates, unless a large outbreak occurs

Objectives Given field collected mosquitoes, a list of common mosquito genera, a mosquito key, a Malaria VecTOR Kit, DA Form 8011-R, Mosquito Pool Log Sheet, a dissecting microscope w/light source: • Sort Anopheline mosquitoes from all other genera • Pool the Anopheline mosquitoes • Test the pools using the VecTOR kit (malaria sporozoite antigen panel assay)

  37. Malaria VecTOR PE CONDITIONS You are supporting general mosquito (vector-borne disease surveillance) at an OCONUS base camp. Given a country specific mosquito key, dissecting microscope w/light source, field collected mosquito specimens, DA Form 8011-R, Malaria lab pooling sheet, Malaria VecTest Antigen Panel Kit, permanent marker, and appropriate label information, prepare specimens for and test anopheline mosquitoes for malaria.

  38. Malaria VecTOR PE STANDARDS 1. Identify required materials 2. Properly record collection data on DA Form 80-11-R 3. Sort Anopheline mosquitoes from all other genera 4. Pool Anopheline mosquitoes by trap, by collection date; record pool data on Malaria Pool Log Sheet 5. Test Anopheline pools using the VecTOR Kit Follow VecTOR Kit directions: Label vials Label dip sticks 6. Record test results and archive test strips permit and/or labeling requirements 7. Pack and label pool specimens shipment for shipment to a CONUS Lab
