• Sommario/riassunto: Integrated vector management (IVM) is a rational decision-making process foroptimal use of resources for vector control. The aim of the IVM approach is tocontribute to achievement of the global targets set for vector-borne disease control bymaking vector control more efficient cost-effective ecologically sound andsustainable. Use of IVM helps vector control programmes to find and use more localevidence to integrate interventions where appropriate and to collaborate within thehealth sector and with other sectors as well as with households and communities. Byreorientating to IVM vector control p
