L 23: integrated vector management for malaria control. Abstract: integrated vector management (ivm) is a rational decision-making process for the optimal use of resources for vector control and includes 5 key elements. Collaboration within the health sector and with other sectors. Background: the control of vector borne diseases represents one of the greatest global public health challenges of the 21st century. Designed to protect people from nuisance-biting and vector species of mosquitoes and are guided by the following principles. To effectively reduce adult vector population and pathogen transmission. That interventions should be ecologically, environmentally, socially, economically, and politically acceptable. That management strategies should not create adverse side effects such as environmental contamination or the development of resistance, nor should they have a negative impact on ton target organisms, including beneficial insects, humans, domestica animals, and wildlife. To understand the transmission cycle, the life history of the vector species, and the natural factors regulating vector survivorship are critical.
