Traditional Models Have Been Ineffective

Mosquito Control Authority Govt . Funding Source R$ Action

Notable Problems With This Model

  • Funding sources are fickle
  • Outcome target is the mosquito, not epidemiological
  • Prone to corner cutting

Traditional Models Have Been Ineffective

Mosquito Control Authority Govt . Funding Source R$ Action

Corner Cutting Reduces IVM Structures

  • Surveillance
  • Use of Decision Making Tools
  • Calibration/Training/Record Keeping
  • Inter-Agency Collaboration

An important need is consistent supply of expertise and advocacy

 Surveillance and Identification  Decision Making Tools  Effecting Control Options (Techniques, Equipment

Calibration, etc.)

 Record Keeping  Strategic Management (Epidemiological Outcomes,

Resistance Management, Incorporation of New Technologies, etc.)

 Building and using management-side advocacy groups

The National Entomological Societies Are an Untapped Resource

 Access to extensive entomological expertise  Self-Sustaining for decades  Existing outreach programs  Desire to be more involved in both the management

component and the government funding component

One model would be:

National Entomological Society

Advocacy Entomological Expertise and Training Programs

Goal is to have

 Consortium of Entomological Societies with

coordinated outreach and advocacy programs targeted at improving IVM programs in their country.

 Initial funding would come from sources external to the

society but would, over time, transition to a self-funded mode like other society functions.

 Consortium members would meet on a regular basis

and would, collectively, seek additional collaboration

  • pportunities in IVM.

Maybe there is a Silver Bullet

 This is a long slog  A way of sustaining programs must be found  Societies have the expertise, organization, and

sustainability to be useful here

 It is practical and beneficial for all to have them work

more effectively as partner in this effort.
