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.

Team Leader: Alan Porter, IRAC Coordinator and Website Manager
One of IRAC’s key roles, coordinated by the C&E Team, is the dissemination of information that will promote good IRM practices around the world. This is done through the generation of printed (posters, handouts, etc.) and electronic (website, eTools, etc.) educational material that can be used by a wide audience. Members of IRAC are encouraged to give presentations and hold poster sessions at national and international meeting and conferences. A wide range of posters and presentation slides are available and can be downloaded via the links on the various IRAC web pages.
