Socio-economic & environmental impact
Research Question
What are we trying to achieve and why? What is the problem we are trying to solve?
Can biotope control of the vector have environmental and socio-economic impact
What are the side effects of biotope control on the environment and human society
Research Gaps and Challenges
What are the scientific and technological challenges (knowledge gaps needing to be addressed)?
Solution Routes
What approaches could/should be taken to address the research question?
Consultations could be carried out with public health socio-economists regarding vectors of great impact on animal and human health to understand the social economic impact and side effects of biotope or vector control.
Dependencies
What else needs to be done before we can solve this need?
State Of the Art
Existing knowledge including successes and failures
Projects
