Abstract
This paper proposes developing monitoring and control strategies with regard to various species of mosquitoes well- established in the Iberian Peninsula based on their ecological characteristics for two different scenarios of arbovirus outbreaks: One for controlling Aedes albopictus as a vector transmitting dengue, zika and chikungunya in urban environments and the other for keeping in check the Culicinae species linked to the transmission of the West Nile virus in rural and peri-urban environments. These entomological monitoring and control plans are based on experiments conducted in different Spanish provinces over the past few years. The results of the control treatments carried out and the relevance of the coordination and cooperation among public and private entities are discussed herein in detail.References
