Vector Control Program

A Vector Control Program is a public health effort focused on reducing or eliminating organisms like mosquitoes, ticks, or flies that transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue, or Zika. It involves strategies like eliminating standing water where they breed, using insecticides, and educating communities on preventive measures. The goal is to lower the risk of disease spread by controlling the population of these vectors, ensuring safer environments and healthier populations through coordinated, science-based actions.
