Industrial operations of the private sector, such as extraction, agriculture, and construction, can bring large numbers of people into new settlement areas and cause environmental change that promotes the transmission of vector-borne diseases. Industry-related workers and communities unduly exposed to infection risk typically lack the knowledge and means to protect themselves. However, there is a strong business rationale for protecting local resident employees through integrated vector control programs, as well as an ethical responsibility to care for these individuals and the affected communities. We discuss the role and challenges of the private sector in developing malaria control programs, which can include extensive collaborations with the public sector that go on to form the basis of national vector control programs or more broadly support local healthcare systems.
私营部门的工业运营，如开采、农业和建筑，会带来大量人口进入新的定居点，并导致环境变化，从而促进了媒介传播疾病的传播。过度暴露于感染风险的与工业相关的工人和社区通常缺乏保护自己的知识和手段。然而，通过综合病媒控制方案来保护当地居民员工具有很强的商业理由，同时也有照顾这些个人和受影响社区的道德责任。我们讨论了私营部门在制定疟疾控制方案方面的作用和挑战，其中可能包括与公共部门的广泛合作，这些合作最终构成国家病媒控制方案的基础，或者更广泛地支持当地医疗保健系统。
