Implementation and Integration of Mosquito Control Measures

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The most successful approach for controlling mosquitoes is when an Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) strategy is implemented, in which all appropriate technological and management techniques are utilized, to bring about an effective decline of target-species populations in a cost-effective manner (WHO 2004b).
