Fight Dengue & Malaria for a better future
Integrated Mosquito Management
*Click to enlarge
Dengue control requires a combination of timely mosquito control efforts and medical means for a functionally integrated dengue management program to provide a prototype for evaluation and demonstration. Pending on degree of success and public acceptance of this proposed limited campaign, nationalization of integrated mosquito management (IMM) may be considered for reducing the prevalence of epidemic dengue in Malaysia and serve as an example for other nations.
