“Basically a PR exercise…”: a qualitative study of expert perspectives on ‘performative versus evidence-informed’ dengue vector control in the Asia-Pacific region

While understandable, refocusing national dengue vector control priorities on monitoring and evaluation/research evidence and mobilising communities can help Asia-Pacific countries improve <i>Aedes</i> mosquito management and therefore health outcomes.
