Abstract

When implemented properly, vector control can be an effective strategy for preventing mosquito-borne disease. Yet dengue control failures continue to be the norm rather than the exception. Reliance on prescribed control strategies and targets continues despite a clear understanding that the complex dynamics of dengue virus transmission is inconsistent with universal efficacy. Promising advances in control technology are on the horizon, but it is unlikely these will be effective for use either in isolation or across all epidemiological situations. Locally-adaptive control strategies that combine available tools in a manner suitable for the particular situation will increase the uptake, efficacy, and impact of dengue vector control programs.
