Demonstration of DDT alternatives: Islamic Republic of Iran
The project in Islamic Republic of Iran aims to investigate the efficacy of covering breeding places with natural materials (mat made of leaves), compared to synthetic materials (man-made materials, tile). The results will be compared to regular larviciding activities by Bacillus thuringiensis. The cost-effective analysis, sustainability of interventions community acceptance and participation will be assessed.
