Les stratégies futures de la lutte antivectorielle

Abstract

Vector-borne diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Their spread is closely linked to the presence of vectors such as mosquitoes, flies, and ticks. Faced with the various adverse effects of different control methods, innovative new approaches have recently emerged to improve the effectiveness of control programs. These include the use of Wolbachia bacteria, next-generation mosquito nets, sugar-based poison baits, drones, artificial intelligence, genetically modified insects, and sterile insect technology. Integrating traditional methods with emerging technologies offers a promising solution for sustainably improving disease control and prevention without negative impacts on the environment, humans, and animals.
