Surveillance: The First Line of Defense Introduction

Introduction

You can’t control what you don’t measure. In the battle against vector-borne diseases, surveillance is our first line of defense.

It’s how we detect resistance early, track disease risks, and make smarter decisions.

Why Surveillance Matters

Detects resistance before outbreaks spiral out of control. Helps governments allocate resources where they’re needed most. Provides evidence to design effective vector control strategies.

Tools

Insecticide resistance assays (WHO bioassays, CDC bottle tests). Molecular tools to detect resistance genes. GIS and digital platforms to map mosquito density and disease hotspots.

From Data to Action

Surveillance isn’t just about collecting data—it’s about translating it into action. Reliable data informs policy, guides funding, and strengthens interventions at the community level. Vecbio Solutions supports partners by building surveillance capacity and turning data into actionable strategies for long-term impact.
