PacMOSSI workshop: How to implement Aedes vector control.
Date:9 November - 13 November 2026
Location:Madang, Papua New Guinea
Time:9.00am - 5.00pm
Mode:Practical workshop

Aims of meeting.

Aedes-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya continue to threaten public health across the Pacific. Effective control requires practical, targeted and locally-appropriate vector control strategies.

This workshop focuses on the operational implementation of Aedes vector control, including larval source management, residual spraying, emerging tools and community engagement. Participants will strengthen their skills in using surveillance data to prioritise, plan and implement effective control activities suited to their local settings.

The workshop aims to strengthen operational capacity for coordinated Aedes control in order to reduce mosquito populations and minimise the risk of arboviral disease transmission across the Pacific region.
