Résumé

The main objective of mosquito control is to reduce human–mosquito contact. With the loss of effective insecticides for many vector species, integrated approaches have been promoted to improve control, manage resistance, reduce unintentional impact of insecticides and engage communities in healthy behaviours. After years of promoting community-based strategies, the challenge of educating people about mosquitoes and diseases to mobilize action and sustain engagement has proven difficult. Control of mosquito disease transmission is facing new challenges with the emergence, re-emergence and spread of arboviruses transmitted by various mosquito species. New methods and strategies are needed that consider environmental impacts which are more mosquito-specific, more manageable and more accepted by communities for reducing disease transmission. This chapter reviews control methods for arbovirus vectors by highlighting successes, limits, failures and expectations. It also emphasizes the need to further integrate communities of both mosquitoes and humans in control strategies.
