Controlling vector-borne diseases typically involves a combination of strategies:
Environmental Management: Reducing or eliminating vector breeding sites, such as stagnant water for mosquitoes. Chemical Control: Using insecticides to kill vectors. However, this can lead to resistance, so it must be managed carefully. Biological Control: Introducing natural predators or pathogens to reduce vector populations. Personal Protection: Using repellents, bed nets, and protective clothing to reduce contact with vectors.
