Abstract
Vector control can play an important role in the control and elimination of vector-borne diseases in endemic diseases. Although the scientific evidence in favour of the effectiveness of fishes in disease control is limited, some field studies and operational use of fishes in certain situations have demonstrated potential of fishes in vector control. This article summarizes evidence base on the large-scale use of fishes for vector-borne disease control with a focus on South-East Asia. In certain situations where larval habitats are fixed and findable, use of larvivorous fishes can be considered in an integrated vector management approach.
