Abstract
The use of larvivorous fish in malaria control is not new but a half-forgotten strategy. It has been shown to be effective and sustainable in many circumstances. A strategic action plan targeting relevant sibling species of the vectors as well as application of global positioning system technology to facilitate rapid re-checking of sites for the continuing presence of fish are important new features of this strategy.Keywords
