A Rapporteur's Summary : Vector Control

Vector control is essential for control of the occurrence of dengue virus infections. Through discussions by participants of the session IV, it became apparent that shortage of professionals in the field of entomology and lack of simple messages that motivate community participation may be a key for overcoming difficulties in vector control. Thus, the establishment of an international or regional training course for young scientists must be proposed under the sponsorship of either international organizations or semi-governmental agencies.
