Clustering of vector control interventions has important consequences for their effectiveness : a modelling study [PDF]

, 2014
Vector control interventions have resulted in considerable reductions in malaria morbidity and mortality. When universal coverage cannot be achieved for financial or logistical reasons, the spatial arrangement of vector control is potentially important ...

Innovative strategies for vector control

, 2021
Current tools for vector control are insufficient to curb vector-borne disease transmission. Recent outbreaks of 'new' vector-borne diseases, such as Zika and chikungunya, and the ongoing fight against malaria underscore this. Scientists and public health authorities collaborate on a continued search for innovative strategies to address this challenge.

Vector control in a malaria epidemic occurring within a complex emergency situation in Burundi: a case study. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: African highlands often suffer of devastating malaria epidemics, sometimes in conjunction with complex emergencies, making their control even more difficult. In 2000, Burundian highlands experienced a large malaria outbreak at a time of civil

Experiences In Comprehensive Vector Control In Indonesia

, 2012
The vector control program has been implemented in Indonesia for many years, however, vector-borne diseases are presently still a problem in Indonesia. Past activities for vector control implemented indoor residual spraying and larviciding only.

Comparing the Effectiveness of Malaria Vector-Control Interventions Through a Mathematical Model. [PDF]

, 2010
Although some malaria-control programs are beginning to combine insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), little is known about the effectiveness of such combinations.

A set of ontologies to drive tools for the control of vector-borne diseases [PDF]

, 2009
We are developing a set of ontologies that deal with vector-borne diseases and the arthropod vectors that transmit them. For practical reasons (application priorities), we initiated this project with an ontology of insecticide resistance followed by a ...
