HOW EFFECTIVE IS INTEGRATED VECTOR MANAGEMENT AGAINST MALARIA AND LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS WHERE THE DISEASES ARE TRANSMITTED BY THE SAME VECTOR?

How effective is integrated vector management against malaria and lymphatic filariasis where the diseases are transmitted by the same vector?

The opportunity to integrate vector management across multiple vector-borne diseases is particularly plausible for malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) control where both diseases are transmitted by the same vector.To date most examples of integrated control targeting these diseases have been unanticipated consequences of malaria vector control, r
