Abstract:
The method of community participation was implemented at three communes of Nam Dinh province since 1998. Results from the fields show that vector indices were reduced significantly compared with that in the untreated commune. No dengue epidemic circulated at these communes. Using mesocyclops for dengue vector control was accepted easily by local people. Mesocyclops can recycle and develop once released in water containers. Its population can remain from 70% to 90% after introduced into resource containers
