Malaria

 

Since 2013 not a single case of local, including Introduced Cases was registered in Georgia.

Nowadays the main goal in Georgia in terms of malaria is to maintain malaria-free status, which was achieved by the implementation widespread antimalaria measures and by the funding assistance of International organizations.

Prevention of malaria reintroduction is vital for Georgia. In the country natural-climatic conditions suitable for malaria transmission exist in 51.8% of territory where 93% of population live. 

Epidemiological surveillance system, which works in Georgia, is mainly based on reports of medical staff, laboratory workers, and data of analyses received from public health centers. The country is using standard malaria case definition developed based on WHO recommendations.

Currently mainly imported falciparum malaria cases are recorded in Georgia.

Considering that the main part of the Georgian territory is highly receptive and vulnerable on malaria, constant monitoring of preparedness of medical services in the regions for malaria prevention is extremely important. 

 

Leishmaniasis

 

Visceral leishmaniasis remains the most serious vector-borne infection in Georgia, particularly affecting younger children and infants.

In Georgia visceral leishmaniasis is spread mostly in the eastern part of the country, Currently the main and active foci is considered to be Tbilisi and its east and south Kakheti and Kvemo Kartli regions, from 2007 first local transmission focus of Visceral Leishmaniasis were reported in the west of Georgian city Kutaisi, which is actually located in the subtropical zone.

In 2012 with WHO assistance we implemented study in three district of Tbilisi city, which gave us an opportunity to determine visceral leishmaniasis infection seroprevalence in humans and canine reservoirs, as well to study vectors biology and their role in disease transmission.

Similar studies have been conducted in Kvemo Kartli in 2017.

Collaboration with WHO is among the highest priorities for Georgia. Our country is very grateful for the support provided by the Regional Office.
