Guidelines for malaria vector control
Overview
WHO’s Guidelines for malaria vector control provide a single resource for all countries and partners working to implement effective malaria vector control interventions. They cover the 2 core malaria vector control tools – ITNs and IRS – as well as supplementary interventions, namely chemical and biological larvicides, and personal protection measures, such as the use of topical repellents.
These guidelines consolidate more than 20 sets of WHO recommendations and good practice statements in one user-friendly format. The web-based guidelines will be updated as new evidence is assessed by WHO.
Supporting documents
The Global Malaria Programme has developed a number of tools to support the dissemination, adoption and implementation of this policy guidance by national malaria control programmes. These include key points on the guidance, a Q&A and a webinar.
