The author discusses mosquito vector control as a process, considers control methods from the viewpoint of those carrying them out, briefly reviews the philosophy underlying the concept of control and describes control sectors (the composite of the human population, the mosquito vector population and the cultural-ecological setting) in broad cultural-ecological categories. Directly or indirectly, all the issues discussed are related to the attitudes and behaviour of those taking responsibility for control.
