Examples of standard monitoring considerations for current vector control methods

Vector control methods	Operational monitoring	Entomological monitoring
Long lasting insecticidal nets	Dosage	Biting cycle in relation to sleep habits
	Coverage	Human blood Index
	Timing	Human biting rate
	Persistence	Sporozoite rate
	Status of equipment	Adult density
	Resources used	Insecticide susceptibility status
	Cost
Indoor residual spray	Dosage	Daytime indoor resting
	Coverage	Human-biting rate
	Timing	Human blood Index
	Persistence	Parous rate
	Status of equipment	Sporozoite rate
	Resources used	Insecticide susceptibility status
	Cost	Adult density
Larviciding	Coverage	Presence and density of larvae
	Persistence	Adult mosquito density
	Resources used	Insecticide susceptibility status
	Cost
Source reduction	Number of potential breeding sites	Adult mosquito density
	Number eliminated
	Resources used and cost
Improved housing	House design and structure	Indoor mosquito resting densities
	Mosquito proofing
	Distance from potential breeding sites
	Resources used and cost
