Dengue and Chikungunya Vector Control Pocket Guide

Abstract

This technical guide (TG) was written to consolidate information and procedures for surveillance and control of mosquitoes that transmit dengue and chikungunya viruses. This TG focuses on mosquitoes that transmit dengue but also makes reference to chikungunya and yellow fever because the pathogens that cause these diseases may be transmitted by the same mosquito species. Thus, control of dengue vectors will also control the spread of these diseases. This TG is not a regulation but provides guidance to those individuals responsible for conducting pest control and surveillance during military deployments. This TG will receive periodic review and will be updated to ensure that information presented reflects current technology and guidance.
