The incremental cost of implementing residual insecticide treatment on top of intense routine Aedes aegypti control measures is high. It should be weighed against the incremental effect on the burden caused by the array of pathogens transmitted by Aedes. The cost could be reduced if the insecticide were cheaper, by limiting the number of yearly applications or by targeting transmission hot spots. 597–602 Original Research Papers
