Efforts immensely required to prevent mosquito-borne diseases are still not in sight in India. People having no or very little knowledge about the subject plan and review vector management strategies in most of the cities and towns around the country. Qualified
entomologists, who are actually supposed to help government health departments in framing vector control strategies from time to time, are virtually non-existent almost everywhere in India.
“Battling the Dengue Spectre: The KMC Story” is all about the thumping initiatives undertaken by the Health Department of Kolkata Municipal Corporation for prevention and control of dengue in Kolkata City. I claim it to be the first-of-its-kind book in India. The book could be an eye opener for contemporary political leaders, controlling officials of different state health departments, municipal corporations, municipalities, railways department, ports and other
agencies involved in mosquito-borne disease prevention activities.
