ERADICATED DISEASES LIST AND TARGETS OF INDIA, 2018
What is an eliminated disease??
Dowdle proposed a definition of control as a reduction in the incidence, prevalence, morbidity or mortality of an infectious disease to a locally acceptable level; elimination as reduction to zero of the incidence of disease or infection in a defined geographical area; and eradication as permanent reduction to zero of the worldwide incidence of infection.
Eradication is the reduction of an infectious disease's prevalence in the global host population to zero. It is sometimes confused with elimination, which describes either the reduction of an infectious disease's prevalence in a regional population to zero, or the reduction of the global prevalence to a negligible amount.
Eight attempts have been made to date to eradicate infectious diseases:
two successful programs targeting:
smallpox and
rinderpest;
four ongoing programs targeting:
poliomyelitis,
yaws,
dracunculiasis and
malaria;
two former programs targeting
hookworm and
yellow fever.
