Summary

This project focuses on addressing arboviral outbreaks in Ivory Coast by involving local communities in the sustainable control of Aedes mosquitoes, utilizing scientific advice and environmental interventions. It will evaluate the impact of a participatory strategy on decreasing mosquito populations and the risk of virus transmission, aiming to provide insights for policy development on disease prevention.

Conditions

  • Dengue

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Community-based larval source management

This project will foster active engagement with community stakeholders, including healthcare workers, community leaders, and other key informants, through participatory meetings aimed at co-creating and developing larval source reduction measures tailored to community's needs. This method emphasizes a participatory framework, ensuring that interventions are both community-informed and culturally relevant.

DEVICE

Enhanced Aedes adults trapping (BG-GAT)

Furthermore, the project intends to determine whether the addition of cost-effective, gravid female mosquito-targeting traps, specifically two Biogents Gravid Aedes Traps (BG-GAT) per household, can improve the overall success of these community-based intervention.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Community-based larval source management with Enhanced Aedes adults trapping (BG-GAT)

The community-based interventions and the BG-GAT deployment will be evaluated in combination to assess their individual and synergistic effects on vector control. This dual strategy combines local participation and practical, evidence-based solutions to address mosquito-borne illness transmission.
