Vector control strategies for preventing dengue transmission.

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: Our objective is to evaluate the benefits and harms of vector-control strategies in preventing dengue transmission in endemic populations. This protocol describes the approach for our four interventions of interest, which we intend to publish as four separate Cochrane reviews. These will evaluate the benefits and harms of: biological vector-control strategies; chemical vector-control strategies; environmental vector-control strategies; and combined vector-control strategies.
