Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Dental Science Research (Quest Journals JMDSR) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Mosquito-borne diseases continue to be a public health threat to people in Africa, particularly children. Pesticide resistance continues to be a problem for public health officials seek to control mosquito populations and reducing the risk of mosquito-borne disease. Developing new effective, economical and ecofriendly methods is a critical part of a successful integrated vector management program. Reducing mosquito populations will save countless lives while protecting the environment. The ProVector pesticide system is the first technology to use an applicator to deliver a pesticide bait that kills both adult and larvae mosquitoes, with the added benefit of being non-toxic. The ProVector has been tested globally with success in reducing mosquito population. Here we describe the effectiveness of the ProVector Flower with Entobac in reducing mosquito populations for 12 weeks, using surveys of homeowners in the city of Afienya, Ghana
