Abstract Despite the ongoing onchocerciasis control program that has been in place Mahenge for more than two decades using Community Directed Treatment with Ivermectin (CDTI) strategy, persistent transmission of observed, proving CDTI alone is unable to interrupt transmission. This letter aims highlight how drone-based remote sensing technology can be utilized Simulium surveillance and suggest ...

OBJECTIVE To study dengue vector breeding patterns under a variety of conditions in public and private spaces; to explore the ecological, biological and social (eco-bio-social) factors involved in vector breeding and viral transmission, and to define the main implications for vector control. METHODS In each of six Asian cities or periurban areas, a team randomly selected urban clusters for co...

Malaria remains a public health problem in Indonesia, therefore, study was conducted to guarantee reduction malaria cases and support an elimination program. This aims determine the patternof vector control malaria-endemic areas of Central Java Province from August December 2016, through searching reports articles on control. eradication efforts that were carried out included curative treatment...

Vector control programs worldwide are facing the challenge of mosquitoes becoming resistant to available insecticides. Larviciding is a crucial preventative measure for dengue but data on insecticide resistance larval Aedes aegypti in Middle East Region limited. This study assesses susceptibility status Ae. collected from two most important foci Saudi Arabia, Jeddah and Makkah, chemical biologi...

Figure 1. Mauritius Larval Source Management (LSM) in Mauritius Malaria was first introduced to the island of Mauritius from mainland Africa during the mid 19 century [1]. Over a century of malaria control campaigns ensued, including large indoor residual spraying (IRS) operations and widespread larval source management (LSM) projects [2]. Mauritius was declared malariafree in 1973 by the World...

In the extension areas of the Onchocerciasis Control Programme in West Africa, aerial larviciding is supplemented with annual ivermectin treatment, mainly to achieve better control of morbidity. The purpose of this study is to determine whether and to what extent the addition of annual ivermectin treatment permits earlier cessation of vector control than originally recommended. The effectivenes...

BACKGROUND Malaria is still a health problem in Iran. There are several vector control activities, including Indoor Residual spraying, using insecticide treated nets and larviciding including Temephos. In addition nuisance mosquitos are prevalent in the urban areas. So that evaluation of this species to larvicide will provide a clue for management of vector control activities. METHODS Two mos...
