A historical review of vector control is made. Despite the available tools, vector borne diseases are still a priority in Public Health. Magic tools, like DDT, were often misused. Adapted strategies and structures for vector control are now required. Progress will mainly result from research and evaluation done in the framework of vector control programmes. Discovery of new tools will find in these operational programmes a point of fall for their application.
对病媒控制进行了历史回顾。尽管有可用的工具，但病媒传播疾病仍是公共卫生领域的优先事项。像滴滴涕这样的神奇工具经常被滥用。现在需要适合病媒控制的策略和结构。进展将主要源于在病媒控制项目框架内进行的研究和评估。新工具的发现将在这些业务项目中找到应用的切入点。
