PART 5. Questions about reactive and preventive mosquito control

5.1. If YES please specify the objectives. Multiple answers per group are possible. WNV vectors: 1. Preventive control of mosquito vectors of WNV to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 2. Reactive control after detection of WNV cases to control an outbreak; 3. Other (please specify); Aedes invasive mosquitoes: 1. Elimination of invasive Aedes mosquitoes after introductions; 2. Preventive control of invasive Aedes mosquitoes to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 3. Reactive control after detection of autochthonous cases of dengue, chikungunya or Zika to control an outbreak; 4. Other (please specify)

Multiple ministries per disease (group) are possible if the responsibility is joint. This is at organizational level 1 (Fig.1). WNV vectors: 1. Preventive control of mosquito vectors of WNV to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 2. Reactive control after detection of WNV cases to control an outbreak; Aedes invasive mosquitoes: 1. Elimination of invasive Aedes mosquitoes after introductions; 2. Preventive control of invasive Aedes mosquitoes to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 3. Reactive control after detection of autochthonous cases of dengue, chikungunya or Zika to control an outbreak

  1. Ministry of Health at national level; 2. Ministry of Agriculture of national level; 3. Ministry of Environment at national level; 4. Ministry of Health at sub-national level; 5.

Reactive control after detection of WNV cases to control an outbreak; Aedes invasive mosquitoes: 1. Elimination of invasive Aedes mosquitoes after introductions; 2. Preventive control of invasive Aedes mosquitoes to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 3.

  3. National; 2. Sub-national (specify which level, e.g. province, municipality); Other
  4. 5.5. Who designs the actual control plan? Here we ask for the organization/agency that is responsible to design a plan on "what, when, and where" needs to be done regarding mosquito control. This is at organizational level 2 (Fig.1). Specify for each objective. WNV vectors: 1. Preventive control of mosquito vectors of WNV to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 2. Reactive control after detection of WNV cases to control an outbreak; Aedes invasive mosquitoes: 1. Elimination of invasive Aedes mosquitoes after introductions; 2. Preventive control of invasive Aedes mosquitoes to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 3. Reactive control after detection of autochthonous cases of dengue, chikungunya or Zika to control an outbreak
  5. Dedicated agency mandated by law; 2. Working group within a ministry; 3. Working group between ministries; 4. Public/Veterinary health agency; 5. Scientific/Academic institution; 6. Private company or organization; 7. Other (please specify for each objective); 8. Don't know/NA
  6. 5.6. Specify which organization/agency is responsible for the design of the mosquito control plan by providing the name of the agency and the website. If you believe further explanation is necessary, you can provide an extra comment. Specify for each objective. WNV vectors: 1. Preventive control of mosquito vectors of WNV to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 2. Reactive control after detection of WNV cases to control an outbreak; Aedes invasive mosquitoes: 1. Elimination of invasive Aedes mosquitoes after introductions; 2. Preventive control of invasive Aedes mosquitoes to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 3. Reactive control after detection of autochthonous cases of dengue, chikungunya or Zika to control an outbreak
  7. Agency Name; Agency Website; Comment
  8. 5.7. Who is responsible for the evaluation and possible re-adjustments of the mosquito control plan? Specify for each objective. WNV vectors: 1. Preventive control of mosquito vectors of WNV to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 2. Reactive control after detection of WNV cases to control an outbreak; Aedes invasive mosquitoes: 1. Elimination of invasive Aedes mosquitoes after introductions; 2. Preventive control of invasive Aedes mosquitoes to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 3. Reactive control after detection of autochthonous cases of dengue, chikungunya or Zika to control an outbreak
  9. The same organization/agency that develops the control plan; 2. Other; Don't know/NA

5.7a & 5.7b. If OTHER, please specify which organization/agency that is responsible for the evaluation and possible re-adjustments. Provide the name of the agency and their website. If you believe further explanation is necessary, you can provide an extra comment. WNV vectors: 1. Preventive control of mosquito vectors of WNV to reduce disease risk (and/or nuisance); 2.
