The Epidemiology and Disease Control Division (EDCD) has issued a guideline on Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) for Kala-azar and Malaria. This guide provides detailed instructions on the application of IRS, which involves spraying the interior walls of homes with insecticides. The methodology is specifically targeted at controlling endophilic insects – those that primarily rest indoors.
