Creating Sustainable Interventions

Mosquito populations can be significantly reduced by a variety of interventions, but if those interventions are interrupted, the mosquitoes and dengue infections quickly return.

Can programs be structured so that interventions are sustained?

In Nicaragua, a group named SEPA (to know) develops local leaders and volunteers to sustain activities that interrupt the mosquito life cycle and fight dengue fever.
