Handbook for Integrated Vector Management.

Integrated vector management (IVM) is a rational decision-making process foroptimal use of resources for vector control. The aim of the IVM approach is tocontribute to achievement of the global targets set for vector-borne disease control bymaking vector control more efficient cost-effective ecologi...
