Abstract
Recent increase in political and funding commitments to malaria control have resulted in rapid scale up of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) as priority vector control interventions. Despite this increasing coverage and consequent substantial reductions of malaria burden, residual malaria transmission by outdoor-biting mosquitoes in particular, necessitates complimentary vector control strategies such as larval source management. More sensitive and scalable entomological surveillance tools are required to monitor the resultant lower transmission levels that persist across much of the tropics. The Urban Malaria Control Program (UMCP) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, implements a large-scale community-based (CB) larviciding programme with the aim of demonstrating operational feasibility of integrating larval control into routine municipal services, while utilizing community-owned resource personnel (CORPs) for its implementation. The goal of this study was to a better understanding of community participation in larval-stage vector surveillance and control, and to develop a practical, safe and affordable prototype for routine programmatic adult mosquito surveillance.
