malaria vector control

Malaria vector control involves strategies to reduce or eliminate the mosquitoes that transmit the disease. This includes using insecticide-treated bed nets to protect people while sleeping, spraying indoor walls with insecticides to kill mosquitoes, and removing standing water where mosquitoes breed. These methods lower mosquito populations and reduce contact between mosquitoes and humans. Additionally, community efforts and environmental management help prevent mosquito breeding sites, supporting long-term control. The goal is to minimize mosquito-human interactions and interrupt malaria transmission effectively and sustainably.
