Malaria vector surveillance is required to determine disease transmission dynamics, vector insecticide susceptibility status, suitable control strategies and impact of control interventions. However, capacity and resources for vector surveillance and insecticide resistance monitoring is often inadequate in most countries at risk of vector-borne diseases. Collaborations and linkages between malaria control policy makers and existing research institutions generating vector surveillance research data are often weak, thereby hindering the availability of data for decision-making. A national vector surveillance programme, mobilizing all stakeholders towards quality data generation and policy making, is required for effective data-driven country-wide vector control. This paper provides an analysis and suggested future directions for such synergized national malaria vector surveillance and insecticide resistance monitoring system currently being implemented by all research and policy stakeholders in Nigeria. The harmonized national vector surveillance system described here can be used as a model for the development or improvement of such structures in other countries with high malaria transmission risks.
疟疾媒介监测对于确定疾病传播动态、媒介对杀虫剂的敏感性状况、合适的控制策略以及控制干预措施的影响至关重要。然而，在大多数面临媒介传播疾病风险的国家，媒介监测和杀虫剂抗性监测的能力及资源往往不足。疟疾控制政策制定者与现有的生成媒介监测研究数据的研究机构之间的合作与联系通常较为薄弱，从而阻碍了用于决策的数据的可得性。有效的数据驱动型全国范围的媒介控制需要一个国家媒介监测计划，动员所有利益相关者致力于高质量数据的生成和政策制定。本文对尼日利亚所有研究和政策利益相关者目前正在实施的这种协同的国家疟疾媒介监测和杀虫剂抗性监测系统进行了分析，并提出了未来的方向。这里描述的统一的国家媒介监测系统可作为其他疟疾传播风险高的国家开发或改进此类结构的模型。
