Abstract:

Background: Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and dengue are significant public health concerns in India, particularly in tropical regions.

Objective: To analyze the trend of malaria and dengue cases in a tertiary care centre in Madhya Pradesh over a 3-year period.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 1,284 malaria and 1,043 dengue cases reported from January 2022 to December 2024. Data was collected from hospital records and laboratory reports.

Results: Malaria cases decreased by 32.6% (From 521 in 2022 to 351 in 2024), while dengue cases increased by 49.8% (From 281 in 2022 to 421 in 2024). Peak malaria transmission occurred during monsoon seasons, whereas dengue cases peaked in post-monsoon seasons.

Conclusion: The study highlights the changing trend of mosquito-borne diseases in Madhya Pradesh. Declining malaria cases indicate successful control measures, while increasing dengue cases necessitate enhanced surveillance and control strategies.
