One of two spiral-bound manuals which provide a practical training
module covering virtually all field techniques needed for the
collection and transportation of mosquitos as part of a malaria
control programme. The manuals, which can be used to train health
workers having no previous experience in entomology or malaria
control, are intended to form the backbone of a training programme
lasting from three to four weeks. The first manual, which is
addressed to learners, provides step-by-step instructions in the
field work needed to secure comprehensive information about the
mosquito population in a given area. Information is presented in a
series of 13 illustrated learning units, moving from the simplest
collecting techniques that can be practised in the laboratory to
more sophisticated procedures that must be undertaken in the field.
Techniques covered include hand collection methods, indoor
collection after pyrethrin spraying, direct catches of mosquitos
from animal and human bait, and collection of larvae and pupae from
breeding sites. To help build competence, learning units deal with
the theory underlying each task as well as with the practical
skills required. Other units help readers learn how to identify
species at all stages of the life-cycle, keep accurate records, and
preserve and transport specimens under strictly controlled
conditions. The need to gain the cooperation of the community is
also thoroughly explained. The second manual, addressed to tutors,
offers practical advice on the organization and running of training
courses. Like the first manual, the Tutor's Guide is divided into a
series of learning units, each with clearly specified learning
objectives. Information is provided on the equipment needed for
teaching a particular topic or demonstrating a particular
technique, and on any support services that may be required. Each
unit offers guidance on appropriate teaching methods, with more
detailed suggestions supplied in an annex. The manual also
reproduces model forms for appraising the performance of individual
tasks and provides advice on how to give participants feedback on
their progress. The manual concludes with a model questionnaire
that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the course.
