Mosquito abatement is a public good. A simultaneous model of mosquito abundance and abatement response is developed. This paper uses data from a cluster randomized controlled experiment conducted over the period 2012-2014 in urban areas of Reunion in France to study the impact of WHO-recommended mechanical elimination techniques, which involve removing sources of stagnant water around the house, on a number of outcomes, including objective entomological indices and self-declared protective behaviors. Empirical results document that households reduce their protective behavior in response to public control. This study holds implications for arboviral disease control, including Zika control.

This WHO guideline provides a comprehensive framework for the assessment of vector control products, specifically focusing on insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). It outlines methods for evaluating the safety, quality, and efficacy of these products to ensure they meet WHO standards. The guideline is intended for use by national regulatory authorities, WHO Member States, and United Nations agencies involved in procuring vector control products. It includes detailed information on the development, testing, and lifecycle management of ITNs, with contributions from international experts and organizations. The document aims to support informed decision-making in the global fight against vector-borne diseases.

This report from the World Health Organization (WHO) details a technical consultation held on June 5 and 9, 2023, to assess the comparative efficacy of vector control products. The meeting evaluated four products: three insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) – DuraNet Plus©, Yorkool® G3, and PermaNet® Dual – and one indoor residual spray (IRS) product, VECTRONTM T500. The ITNs were found to be non-inferior to existing products in terms of mosquito mortality, while the IRS product showed comparable efficacy to an existing comparator. Recommendations include expanding WHO coverage to include broflanilide insecticide. The document serves to guide programs in selecting effective vector control interventions, aimed primarily at public health officials and researchers involved in malaria control and vector management.

Les moustiques viennent de la nuit des temps (250 millions d'années), mais ils ne s'attardent pas (durée de vie moyenne : 30 jours). Nombreux (3 564 espèces), installés sur les cinq continents (Groenland inclus), ils tuent volontiers (750 000 morts chaque année).Quand ils nous vrombissent à l'oreille, ils ne se contentent pas de pourrir nos nuits, c'est une histoire qu'ils nous racontent : leur point de vue sur la mondialisation. Une histoire planétaire de frontières abolies, de mutations permanentes, de luttes pour survivre. L'histoire, surtout, d'un couple à trois : le moustique, le parasite et sa proie. Pour tenter de nous en débarrasser, allons-nous utiliser les pouvoirs vertigineux que nous offrent les manipulations génétiques ? Avec quels risques ? Deviendrons-nous des apprentis sorciers ?Après le coton, l'eau et le papier, je vous emmène faire un nouveau voyage pour tenter de mieux comprendre notre Terre : Guyane, Cambodge, Pékin, Sénégal, Brésil, sans oublier la mythique forêt Zika (Ouganda)… Je vous promets des fièvres !
