Vector control tools for Aedes mosquito control.

Strength of evidence is based only on recent systematic reviews and meta-analysis studies carried out in the last 5 years. We used scores to rank the ‘strength of evidence’ based on study designs used for assessing the efficacy of vector control interventions as proposed by Wilson and colleagues (2015) for epidemiological trials (1, 2a, 2b). We created 2 new ‘levels of evidence’ (3a and 3b) to distinguish randomised versus nonrandomised (observational) ‘entomology’ trials.
