Community Level
  • Water storage practices, including covering of containers to prevent access by egg-laying female mosquitoes are among methods that are encouraged through community-based programmes.
  • Primary prevention through Vector control against the mosquito using Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) and use of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITN)
  • Environmental manipulation such as frequent emptying and cleaning, by scrubbing, of water-storage vessels, flower vases and desert room coolers, cleaning of gutters, sheltering stored tyres from rainfall, recycling or proper disposal of discarded containers and tyres, management of plants close to homes that collect water in the leaf axils, street cleansing and draining of drainage system
  • Environmental modification such as installation of a reliable piped water supply to communities, including household connections
  • Installing mosquito screening on windows, doors and other entry points, and using mosquito nets while sleeping during daytime.
  • Use of larvicides, adulticides (2-3 times annually) use of Indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide treated nets (ITN)
  • Mosquito-proofing of water-storage containers
  • Breeding and distribution of biological control organisms such as native larvivorous fish and predatory copepods, into water-storage containers, open freshwater wells, concrete irrigation ditches and industrial tanks, wells etc.
