Addresses the disease determinant factors in the epidemiologic cycle of dengue causation
VECTOR CONTROL and MANAGEMENT
Vector Control_________________ include targeting the mosquito vector/s in the habitats of its larval and adult stages in households and immediate surroundings and in any area where human-vector contact may occur. understanding of local mosquito ecology which is critical for establishing an efficient and targeted strategy

(DOST-developed O/L trap)
Laboratory Testing (ITDI)**
Field testing in Quezon City and Marikina (ITDI)**
Ovicidal Trap, an anti dengue mosquito device
(UP-CPH)**
Roll-out in barangays nationwide in cooperation and DOH (ITDI)
**Completed Activities
ITDI Study
The developed ovi/larvicidal trap system is effective in attracting Aedes mosquitoes and at the same time lethal to hatched larvae
It is safe, cheap and make use of natural active agent
The process is simple and can control the population of Aedes mosquitoes
Laboratory Study
The Ovi-Trap System (OTS) with test solution was able to attract about 70% of Aedes Mosquito population as compared to 30% using
OTS with plain water
Oviposition response to different concentrations of aqueous solution showed three times better at 1000ppm and five times better at
2000ppm as compared to negative control;
LC50 of 127 mg/l and 395 mg/l for LC90.
