What role do insecticides play in integrated vector management (IVM)?
Insecticides are a critical component of integrated vector management (IVM), a comprehensive approach that combines multiple strategies to control vector-borne diseases. IVM incorporates the use of insecticides alongside other methods, such as environmental management, biological control, and public education, to achieve sustainable and effective vector control. By integrating various tools and techniques, IVM enhances the overall impact of vector control efforts while minimizing adverse effects.
