Malaria Control in Emergencies: Time for Action
On 10 August 2016 in Campina Grande, Brazil, school children check that a large water container behind a home in Campina Grande, Brazil is clean and adequately covered to help prevent the breeding and spread of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. The mosquito carries the zika virus, dengue and other diseases. These children are key players in a vector control social mobilization effort to quickly share important zika prevention information to all homes in the city.
