The World Health Organization (WHO) says 80 percent of the world's population is at risk of one or more mosquito-borne diseases. WHO has also released a new manual on indoor residual spray (IRS) for the prevention of these diseases. IRS is very effective in controlling these diseases. According to the report, mosquitoes, flies and insects spread viruses and bacteria. Millions of people around the world are infected with it. These dangerous infectious diseases include malaria, dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, Zika virus, leishmaniasis and Chagas. WHO recommends two vector control methods for large-scale use to control malaria. Pesticide-treated nets and pesticide sprays, under which pesticides are sprayed on houses and other buildings. IRS is widely used to kill Anopheles mosquitoes that spread malaria, but with the new manual, IRS spraying also kills other disease-carrying insects.
