Govt plans doorstep monitoring to prevent kala-azar resurgence

Doctors and health officials in India studied how to stop a serious disease called kala-azar from coming back.

This disease can be very dangerous if not treated.

It spreads through sandflies and causes fever, weight loss, and other problems.

The team found that some people who had the disease before can still carry it without feeling sick.

This means they can spread it to others without knowing.

The team thinks that instead of waiting for people to come to clinics, they should go door-to-door to check for the disease.

This way, they can find and treat people earlier, which might stop the disease from coming back.

They also found that some people have the disease but don't show any signs.

These people need to be watched carefully.

The study was done over four years and was published in a medical journal.
