5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This project will provide new insights concerning how to reduce dengue transmission by means of cost-effective and sustainable implementation strategies of vector control methods. The research will assess key strategies which deliver new vector control tools with respect to their cost-effectiveness, acceptability and sustainability in contrasting environments.
