Technology Advances in Vector Control | APMEN TechTalks

This webinar explores the use of innovative technologies as strategies for robust vector surveillance. Technological advances are crucial to understanding vector-borne diseases, offering novel approaches for the monitoring, evaluation, and elimination of malaria. There remains significant constraints in the implementation of effective surveillance and control due to challenges such as locating breeding sites, addressing outdoor biting, finding capacity to identify mosquitoes, and access to tools that go beyond the limitations of LLIN’s and IRS.
