J J Picq, and J P Albert, and J Roux

A review of the present means of control of arthropod vectors in which the authors consider:--individual means aimed at the prevention of bites by utilizing clothes, repellents, mosquito nets and insecticide sprays,--collective means which are either physical, biological or chemical. Physical means are specially used for water control either in "peridomestic actions" or in large scale campaign's related to rural or industrial development scheme. Actually biological means are represented only by larvivorous fishes. The chemical control is the most important, its various requisites, and techniques are given.
