Application of the pupal/demographic-Survey Methodology in an area of Havana, Cuba, with low densities of Aedes aegypti (L.).
Annals of tropical medicine and parasitology, 2020Co-Authors: Juan A Bisset, Silvia Suarez, M M Rodriguez, M C Marquetti, H PadmanabhaAbstract:Between the April and December of 2004, an Aedes aegypti (L.) pupal/demographic Survey was conducted in the Playa municipality of Havana. The aims were to identify the key types of container in the production of the adult mosquitoes (and so provide a basis for targeted control) and assess transmission risk in terms of the number of pupae/person. Pupal abundance, as measured in the Survey, was compared with traditional Stegomyia indices. The immature stages of Ae. aegypti were only found in 70 of the 15,153 containers that were investigated and the pupae of this species were only seen in 52 of the containers. Ground-level water-storage tanks yielded 74.1% of all the pupae, with a further 19.0% found in miscellaneous small containers. The utility of the pupal/demographic-Survey Methodology in the evaluation of dengue risk in the study area, and other areas of Cuba with low densities of Ae. aegypti, is discussed.

Students' opinion regarding application of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Survey Methodology courses in medical research.
Journal of Pakistan Medical Association, 2009Co-Authors: Farah Ahmad, Nosheen Zehra, Amir Omair, Qudsia AnjumAbstract:Objective: To assess students' opinion regarding the application of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Survey Methodology courses in medical research. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the opinion of the third and fourth year students regarding the relevance of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Survey Methodology courses, which are taught in the first two years, to medical research through a pre-tested, self administered questionnaire. The questionnaire was filled by 126 students of third and fourth year MBBS through convenience sampling. Results: The majority (76%) of the students agreed that the Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Survey Methodology courses were relevant in the first two years of MBBS curriculum. Epidemiology and Survey Methodology were termed as most useful courses for critical reading sessions, literature review and medical writing. No significant difference was observed in the opinion of third and fourth year medical students (p > 0.05) Conclusion: Research methods courses conducted in the first two years of MBBS are considered relevant and useful by the medical students. The application of these courses should be encouraged by involving the students in research projects during their undergraduate years (JPMA 59:307; 2009).

Utilising field assignments in Survey Methodology course at Ziauddin Medical University, Karachi.
Journal of Pakistan Medical Association, 2002Co-Authors: Qudsia Anjum, Amir Omair, S N B Inam, Hemna Siddiqui, Imran Ali ShaikhAbstract:OBJECTIVE: To describe the teaching-learning strategy employed in the module of Survey Methodology for undergraduate medical students at Ziauddin Medical University. SETTING: Medical students of Ziauddin Medical University, Clifton, Karachi. METHODS: The objectives of the Survey Methodology course were developed so that a student would be able to design and conduct a small Survey independently. For this purpose the students were required to participate in a census Survey of a squatter settlement. The questionnaire for the Survey was developed with the students, which included the demographic information of the households. It was discussed and pretested with the medical students. The students edited and entered the data on computer using Epi-Info. They were trained in sampling methods, data collection, data editing and entry through lectures and small group sessions. At the end of the course, students filled the course evaluation form. RESULTS: Out of 117 students who responded, 63% found the course to be useful. Small group sessions were regarded as the most helpful teaching strategy by 91% of the students. Majority (74%) of the students recommended that field visits should be a part of teaching strategy. CONCLUSION: The Survey Methodology course reinforces the importance and practical application of research methods. The students appreciate the course especially the small group sessions and the field visits.

Application of the pupal/demographic-Survey Methodology to identify the key container habitats of Aedes aegypti (L.) in Malindi district, Kenya.
Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, 2020Co-Authors: Janet Midega, Joseph G. Nzovu, Samuel Kahindi, Rosemary Sang, Charles M. MbogoAbstract:AbstractThe pupal/demographic-Survey Methodology was evaluated in three coastal areas (one urban, one peri-urban and one rural) of Malindi district, Kenya, in attempts to identify the types of domestic container that are most productive for Aedes aegypti (L.) pupae. The results demonstrated the practicality and consistency of the Methodology, as a tool both for identifying and guiding the targeted control of the most productive container habitats, and for determining the mean numbers of pupae/person, as measures of the risk of dengue transmission.Twenty-five types of container were identified indoors and 50 types outdoors. In total, only 4178 pupae were seen indoors and 795 outdoors. Pupal productivity was dependent on the type, location and volume of the container and the season of the year. Metallic drums and jerricans contributed >70% of the pupae encountered indoors in the wet season whereas, in the rural area, plastic drums contributed 83.7% of all the larvae seen outdoors during the dry season.

Metallic drums and jerricans contributed >70% of the pupae encountered indoors in the wet season whereas, in the rural area, plastic drums contributed 83.7% of all the larvae seen outdoors during the dry season. Container productivity was not consistent during the different Surveys. The highest mean numbers of pupae/person (7.61) and of pupae/household (18.12) were recorded in the rural area.
