What Must We Do to Effectively Control Aedes Aegypti

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Aedes aegypti and the closely related Aedes albopictus are wide spread and steadily infesting new geographical areas. The consequence has been a dramatic increase in diseases transmitted by these species, dengue, dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, yellow fever and chikungunya. Implementing effective and sustained vector control programs is urgent and essential. There are no easy solutions to the problem of their control. Well planned and budgeted control programs, supervised by well trained professional personnel are necessary. Control can be achieved by an integration of chemical and biological measures and the cooperation of government, local authorities and public in carrying out environmental measures to reduce breeding sources. The costs involved are less than those of hospitalization, medical treatment, lost labor, death and illness that results from doing nothing or doing it poorly.
