Environmental management for vector control aims to induce changes in
ecosystems that help reduce their receptivity to the propagation of
disease vectors that play a key role in the transmission of
vector-borne diseases (VBD) such as malaria. Environmental management
for vector control is not intended to replace other control
strategies.
