What is the vector-borne disease surveillance program?
This program consists of two parts, Vector-borne Disease Surveillance and Vector Control. The Vector-borne Disease Surveillance team conducts routine surveillance of such diseases as plague, flea-borne or murine typhus, Lyme borreliosis, as well as hantaviruses and arenaviruses.
Why is vector control and surveillance suited for integrated approaches?
Vector control and surveillance is well suited for integrated approaches because some vectors are responsible for multiple diseases, and some interventions are effective against several vectors.
What is integrated vector management?
Integrated vector management (IVM) is a rational decision-making process to optimize the use of resources for vector control. The aim of the IVM approach is to contribute to achievement of the global targets set for vector-borne disease control, by making vector control more efficient, cost effective, ecologically sound and sustainable.
