Vector control is essential in preventing the spread of vector-borne diseases. Effective methods include:
Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs): Widely used to protect against mosquito bites, especially in malaria-endemic regions. Indoor residual spraying (IRS): Applying insecticides to interior walls to kill resting mosquitoes. Source reduction: Eliminating breeding sites by managing stagnant water and maintaining clean environments. Biological control: Using natural predators or pathogens to control vector populations.
