Integrated mosquito management
The South Australian Arbovirus Management Strategy
The South Australian Arbovirus Management Strategy (PDF 686KB) replaces and builds on the successes and learnings from the South Australian Arbovirus Coordinated Control and Operations Plan 2015. The Strategy highlights emerging issues and identifies opportunities to progress in protecting the South Australian community from serious arboviral disease. It acknowledges the importance of a coordinated and collaborative approach to effectively manage arboviral disease risks in South Australia.
The South Australian Arbovirus and Mosquito Monitoring and Control Plan
The South Australian Arbovirus and Mosquito Monitoring and Control Plan (PDF 551KB) has been developed to support the goals and strategic priorities detailed in the Strategy. The aim of the Plan is to inform mosquito surveillance and control activities commensurate to the local arbovirus risk.
The South Australian Integrated Mosquito Management Resource Pack
The South Australian Integrated Mosquito Management Resource Pack (PDF 2372B) (SAIMMRP) has been developed to support the strategic goals of the South Australian Arbovirus Management Strategy (PDF 686KB), specifically
- to protect public health and well-being through collaborative, evidence-based approaches to arbovirus management.
- to mitigate or reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases in South Australia, using a comprehensive, evidence-based risk management framework.
The SAIMMRP provides technical guidance and practical resources to guide mosquito management activities in South Australia. It is designed to support the development and implementation of sustainable integrated mosquito management programs. The SAIMMRP enables informed risk and evidence-based decision making to ensure effective, economical, and environmentally sensitive mosquito management practices.
Appendix A: SA Health Mosquito Management Plan Template
The SA Health Mosquito Management Plan Template (DOC 1304KB) has been developed to assist councils in preparing local mosquito management plans (MMPs) as described in the SAIMMRP. The development of local MMPs is integral in ensuring that the council understands the risk profile of their area and enables effective and targeted mosquito management. It provides a plan of ongoing, risk-based activities allowing for sustainable local programs through planned budget and resource allocation. Developing a MMP can assist councils in meeting their legal obligations under the South Australian Public Health Act 2011. It is also a mandatory requirement for those councils wishing to access the SA Health mosquito management subsidy funding to have a satisfactory MMP.
