Types of vector
• Mechanical vectors
– Transmit pathogens by transporting them on their feet or mouthparts. Eg. Housefly
• Biological vectors
– These vectors are involved in the life-cycle of parasite / arbovirus which must pass through the vector in order to mature to an effective stage capable of being transmitted to human or animal host when a vector takes a blood meal.
Types of Cockroaches
As we all know cockroaches indeed pose problems to human life since time immemorial. It is not a new problem in everyday life, whether at home, in factories, hotels and restaurants.

Rats given rise to problems in all corners of the world by constantly trailed wherever people are. The population of rats around the world show a high increase even more with the environment that allowed it these mice to find food and build community in the area, especially in a friend housing, industry, restaurants and hotels.
Rats are among the most rigid mortal enemy and cause dangerous diseases including plague, leptospirosis (Leptospirosis), food poisoning, allergic diseases and other rodents. Did you know that rats are capable of forming a community of 2,000 head per year ?.

Vektor control strategies :
• Chemical control (Adults)
• Space spraying
• Larval control
• Biological control
• Environmental control
• Personal protection
Biological information required for vector control
• Investigate or know the following before deciding on control intervention:
– Breeding sites
– Resting sites
– Transmission
– Blood source
– Dispersal range
– Population dynamic
