Principal methods for anti-vector protection against mosquitoes (from Carnevale, Robert et al. 2009)*.
*In this RGP document the only methods considered and evaluated were those that reduce host-vector contact.
| Classification of methods for anti-vector protection | |
|---|---|
| 1) Protection technique: | . physical, biological, chemical, genetically |
| 2) Target: | . larvae, adults |
| 3) Effect sought by impairing: | |
| - host-vector contact: | . wearing of long-sleeved and long-legged clothes |
| . cutaneous repellents | |
| . impregnated clothing (repellents-insecticides) | |
| . protection by domestic use of pesticides (aerosols, coils, etc…) | |
| . simple or impregnated mosquito nets for beds (repellents-insecticides) | |
| - vector density: | . reduction of larva nests by modification of their environment |
| . larva control with biological larvicides (larvivorous fish), biopesticides (Bacillus thuringiensis) or chemical larvicides | |
| . impregnated bed mosquito nets used at high scale (mass effect) | |
| . spatial spraying | |
| - vector life-span: | . intra-domiciliary spraying |
| . impregnated bed mosquito nets used at high scale (mass effect) | |
| . spatial spraying |
