| Vector Management |
|
| Certain mosquito species are responsible for the transmission of human diseases such as malaria and dengue in developing countries across the globe. According to recent World Health Organization (WHO) figures, this mosquito-transmitted disease kills over one million people a year and causes an estimated 300 to 500 million acute cases per year. |
