A great new IRM Operational Vector Manual has just been published by IRAC providing the reader with practical knowledge and tools required to implement insecticide resistance management in vector control programmes. This pocket size booklet is a shortened version of the earlier larger IRAC Vector Manual. Both the full version and smaller operational pocket version have the same title “Prevention and Management of Insecticide Resistance in Vectors of Public Health Importance” and are available online via the IRAC website (see the document links within the text above). Printed copies are available from the IRAC Coordinator at enquiries@irac-online.org.
