	Jackson County Vector Control District
		The goals of this District are to prevent new vector sources from developing, to abate existing vector populations and their sources in order to protect public health and comfort, to reduce the level of vector populations throughout the District, as well as reduce vector and human interaction.
		Vector shall mean any insect or arthropod, rodent, or other animal of public health significance capable of causing discomfort, injury, or capable of harboring or transmitting the causative agents of disease to humans or domestic animals.
		The vector problem in Jackson County is largely a human associated problem resulting from agricultural endeavors, increasing population, and urbanization.

	Vector control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vector control is any method to limit or eradicate the vectors of vector born diseases, for which the pathogen (e.g.
		virus or parasite) is transmitted by a vector which can be mammals, birds or arthropods, especially insects, and more specifically mosquitoes.
		The most frequent type of vector control is mosquito control, which uses a variety of strategies, three of which are:

	CDC - Pesticides and Public Health: Integrated Methods of Mosquito Management
		Biological controls (including birds and bats) may be present, but often not in sufficient numbers to provide satisfactory alternative control, particularly in coastal areas where salt-marsh mosquitoes are abundant or when human disease outbreaks occur.
		Vector control uses of existing pesticides, particularly adulticides, often follow agricultural registration and commercialization as a means of expanding sales into new markets.
		For mosquito control, these data are often obtained under an experimental use permit, which requires application to EPA, submission or reference to a portion of the pesticide registration requirements according to CFR 40 § 158 Data Requirements for Registration and Reporting (7,8).

	Vector Control (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Goals: The Clackamas County Vector Control District is responsible for control of flies and mosquitoes within Clackamas County.
		Control of these vectors is not intended to be total eradication since the concept of total eradication is unachievable and environmentally unsound, requiring unacceptable quantities of pesticide.
		The goals of the District, therefore, are to limit the number of vectors thus reducing annoyance and the likelihood of vector borne disease for persons living in the District.

		In New Mexico the control of mosquitoes is the responsibility of the county or municipality.
		Adult mosquito control (also called "fogging," "spraying" or "adulticiding") is the method of mosquito control that is most familiar to the public and can be part of a comprehensive integrated mosquito control program.
		Former mosquito control programs relied heavily on the use of insecticides with their application being done periodically without regard to the numbers of mosquitoes or even their presence.

	Malaria Vector Control Strategies
		The idea behind vector control is to reduce levels of mortality and morbidity by reducing transmission of the disease.
		Control activities and resources are mainly available at provincial level, where they need to be more decentralized and controlled at the sub-district level.
		Larval control, given the nature of the vectors, which tend basically to breed everywhere in a small amount of water on the surface of the ground, this approach can be acceptable only under suitable mapping and characterization of breeding sites, and will work mainly in urban and peri-urban areas.

	Vector Control \| CDC Malaria
		Vector control aims to decrease contacts between humans and vectors of human disease.

	Vector Control Methods Focus Group
		Where community based larval control is attempted by environmental management, it is often incorrectly targeted at sites which do not contain larvae of vector anophelines but of other types of mosquito.
		The communities with low transmission are indicators of the likely situation after vector control has been applied and sustained for several years in a previously intensely malarious community.
		As soon as a satifactory blood stage vaccine is available, test of integration of it with vector control with the intention that the vaccine replaces the lost natural immunity and the vector control moderates the challenge to the vaccine.
