Abstract

The integrated methodology for the control of vectors of diseases as well as mosquitoes has become an accepted concept amongst the public health experts. The feasibility of adopting this approach in different situations for mosquito control as per field trials by various institutions has been reviewed in this article. This concept, to some extent, has been in vogue under National Malaria Eradication Programme since long in a practicable way. Satisfactory results have been obtained wherever this approach has been applied carefully. The applicability of the integrated control methodology is not difficult provided various methods to be integrated are chosen and utilized in a rational way. Thorough health education is a prerequisite to awaken the community to accept the methods as part and parcel of routine life.
