The aim of vector control is to interrupt or eliminate local transmission of diseases, reduce vulnerability to disease, and prevent secondary infections from introduced diseases so they do not create further outbreaks.This requires a strong organisational framework, well defined plans, skilled technical operators, appropriate equipment and sufficient financial resources.The main targets of vector control measures worldwide are Anopheles species for malaria parasite control and Aedes species for a range of viruses eg Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya, West Nile fever.For Aedes species, which can transmit several viruses as soon as they are infected, the ecology and behaviour are well known and vector control can be planned more easily.For malaria, which is transmitted by 41 Anopheles species, choosing vector control methods is more complicated as each species has distinct ecology and behaviour — called bionomics. The behaviour is not well known for some species and can change in response to selective pressure when control methods are applied. South East Asia, in particular is a complex area because of the high species diversity.
