NVBDCP covers vector-borne diseases: malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis), lymphatic filariasis, and scrub typhus. Tuberculosis is managed under the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP), formerly RNTCP, as it is transmitted via airborne route without a vector. All the other listed diseases are transmitted through arthropod vectors.
