Mosquitoes are the deadliest animal on the planet. They represent a Clear and Present Danger to global health and economies.
Mosquitoes transmit (are vectors) of malaria, a blood parasite responsible for the death of roughly one person about every ninety seconds, a figure equivalent to about five 747 Jumbo jets crashing every day. They are also vectors of Zika, Chikungunya, Dengue, West Nile, and hundreds of other viruses.
The emotional and financial burden they inflict on the communities they affect is immense and the economic impact on the limited budgets and resources of the countries trying to control them is enormous.
After over two decades of spending billions of US Dollars trying to control it, malaria continues to increase unabated.
Mosquitoes also transmit another blood parasite that causes filariasis or elephantiasis, an incapacitating condition that leaves those affected unable to work and completely dependent on others. They also transmit several hundred viruses, with names familiar to many like Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya, and West Nile, and many with strange names like Mayaro, Bunyamwera, and O’nyong-nyong fevers.
The global incidence of Dengue Fever has increased over 8-fold over the last two decades. Today, over half of the world’s population continues at risk and billions of US Dollars in losses have been reported.
In Latin America and the Caribbean Basin, the Zika outbreak of 2016 cost an estimated 0.06% of the gross domestic product. While a seemingly low figure, it represents a loss of about US$ 62.5M from a national budget of US$ 104B. And that was just that year!
Three decades of designing, implementing, and evaluating national and privately-owned mosquito population suppression campaigns around the world have provided ample evidence that most of them can be improved or have failed . Consequently, the malaria burden on many countries surpasses their capacity to respond. Moreover, most programs are not integrated vector management interventions and rely on two main tools: mosquito nets, and indoor residual spraying. They are not established as the rational decision-making process that determines the most appropriate mix of interventions drawing on resources beyond health, both public and private.
My approach is to design, help implement, or revitalize mosquito population reduction measures tailored to the local conditions and vectors. My approach is to guide program managers and assist them in the evaluating and adjusting the interventions to ensure their efficiency and effectiveness. The idea is to use as many measures in the mosquito control tool bag as possible and appropriate for the country or area, and pave the way for the implementation of those not active. The plans I produce:
The rise in vector-borne disease morbidity and mortality around the Globe makes it imperative that mosquito population suppression measures are multi-disciplinary and engage the communities benefiting from them. After all, the resources available to every government confronting this situation are very limited.
My energy is focused on creating approaches that enlist as many natural predators as possible and engages communities in source reduction measures and environmental management activities that make their neighborhoods less favorable for the production and proliferation of mosquitoes and other biting insects without relying on insecticides. I concentrate my attention on natural processes and biological materials and select environmentally-sound and target-specific materials and products to enhance the interventions selected. My goal is to reduce or eliminate the target insects while causing no harm to community members or the environment.
My success during the past three decades is the result of helping communities help themselves with minimum external assistance.
The environmentally-sound and targeted interventions and procedures selected are based on the clients’ specific parameters and conditions. They are implemented using the latest available technology to maximize the impact on target insects and cause no harm to non-targeted insects and animals.
My team includes experienced, multidisciplinary experts and trainers with a combined knowledge and experience in the control of mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects of public health and veterinary importance.
We follow the guidelines established by the U.S. and European Environmental Protection Agencies, recommendations of the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and abide by all pertinent national and international laws and regulations designed to reduce vector populations while protecting the environment.
This seemingly insignificant insect and her blood-sucking friends
have affected the health and prosperity of countless families, communities, business, and countries long enough.
The approach taken for decades NEEDS improvement.
Communities around the World and the Tourism Industry cannot
sit passively waiting for them to go away on their own or something to change.
We all need to take an active role in making our surroundings
less favorable for them or accept them as unwanted guests.
