What Are the Strategies for Disease Control?

Disease control strategies vary depending on the type of disease and its transmission mechanisms. Key strategies include:
1. Isolation and Quarantine: Used to prevent the spread of infectious diseases by separating affected individuals from the healthy population.
2. Vector Control: Involves measures to control or eradicate disease-carrying vectors such as mosquitoes in the case of malaria and dengue.
3. Sanitation and Hygiene: Ensuring access to clean water and promoting hygiene practices to prevent waterborne and foodborne diseases.
4. Antimicrobial Stewardship: Rational use of antibiotics to prevent the development of antimicrobial resistance.
