Home›Public Health Programs›Program Kind›Vector ControlPracticeVector ControlVector Control PracticeReference and ClassificationDevelopingVector control is any method to limit or eradicate the mammals, birds, insects or other arthropods, collectively called vectors, which transmit disease pathogens. The cited article states that the most frequent type of vector control is mosquito control using a variety of strategies, and that several of the neglected tropical diseases are spread by such vectors. In public health it is the practice behind programs that reduce the animals which carry infection between people, and programs of this kind, such as spraying, netting and larval source management campaigns, are grouped under this practice as a whole rather than under one named method.FactsVector ControlConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsClassificationPractice ClassWell-attestedPreventive or Public Health Practice 1Vector ControlFilter Results56 entriesGeographic ScopeAllAfrica (21)Angola (1)Asia (10)Australia (1)Australia (1)Bangladesh (1)Bengal (1)Botswana (1)Central Africa (1)Central America (1)Europe (2)India (1)Latin America (3)Malawi (1)Mozambique (1)Namibia (1)Nepal (1)North America (2)Papua New Guinea (1)Rwanda (1)Solomon Islands (1)South America (2)South Asia (1)Southern Africa (1)Southern Cone (1)Spain (1)Sub-Saharan Africa (5)Switzerland (1)Tanzania (1)The Caribbean (2)United Kingdom (1)West Africa (1)Zambia (2)Zimbabwe (1)Where (Country)AllAfrica (21)Angola (1)Asia (10)Australia (1)Australia (1)Bangladesh (1)Bengal (1)Botswana (1)Central Africa (1)Central America (1)Europe (2)India (1)Latin America (3)Malawi (1)Mozambique (1)Namibia (1)Nepal (1)North America (2)Papua New Guinea (1)Rwanda (1)Solomon Islands (1)South America (2)South Asia (1)Southern Africa (1)Southern Cone (1)Spain (1)Sub-Saharan Africa (5)Switzerland (1)Tanzania (1)The Caribbean (2)United Kingdom (1)West Africa (1)Zambia (2)Zimbabwe (1)Era (Launch Year)All1955 (1)1960 (1)1974 (1)1984 (1)1986 (1)1991 (2)1992 (1)1995 (2)1996 (1)1997 (3)1998 (1)1999 (2)2000 (1)2001 (1)2002 (3)2003 (2)2004 (2)2005 (4)2006 (2)2007 (3)2009 (1)2010 (1)2012 (2)2013 (1)2016 (1)2017 (3)2018 (1)2020 (1)2021 (2)2022 (1)StatusAllConcluded (7)Ongoing (38)Target PopulationAllAll (2)Children (3)Health GoalAllAccess (1)Behaviour (1)Eradication (20)Reduction (8)Sponsoring BodyAllPan American Health Organization (3)United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1)World Health Organization (7)Associated WithAllGlobal Health (16)Public Health (38)Disease or Condition AddressedAllChagas Disease (3)Dracunculiasis (1)HIV/AIDS (1)Human African Trypanosomiasis (1)Leishmaniasis (1)Lymphatic Filariasis (1)Malaria (33)Neglected tropical diseases (5)Onchocerciasis (3)Schistosomiasis (1)Trachoma (1)Tuberculosis (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 6WHO Road Map for Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021-2030Vector ControlWorld Malaria DayVector ControlWorld NTD DayVector ControlZambia National Malaria Elimination ProgrammeVector ControlZanzibar Malaria Elimination ProgrammeVector ControlZero Malaria Starts with MeVector ControlShowing 51 to 56 of 56, page 2 of 2.← Previous12ConnectionsIn BranchEnvironmental Health, Branches Well-attested Source Vector ControlPractice Delivered By ProgramWHO Road Map for Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021-2030, Public Health Programs Well-attested World Malaria Day, Public Health Programs Well-attested World NTD Day, Public Health Programs Well-attested Zambia National Malaria Elimination Programme, Public Health Programs Well-attested Zanzibar Malaria Elimination Programme, Public Health Programs Well-attested Zero Malaria Starts with Me, Public Health Programs Well-attested Showing 51 to 56 of 56 in Practice Delivered By Program, page 2 of 2.← Previous12Sources1.
