Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance (APLMA) 108d ago

Vector control is the single most effective intervention for achieving a reduction in malaria transmission in most malaria endemic countries of the world. Such vector control must be underpinned by a thorough understanding of which vector species are present in a particular area, relative abundance of the various species, breeding site preference, feeding and resting behavior, insecticide susceptibility, data management and interpretation, all of this then integrated into a holistic entomological surveillance programme. Each of these elements requires specific knowledge and skills, to help programme managers and public health entomologists tailor vector control solutions, reduce human-vector contact, and drive down malaria transmission. APMEN adds value to such capacity gaps which often occur in programmes, to achieve optimized levels of vector surveillance which is the foundation for effective vector control interventions.
