We work with Integrated PEST Management (IPM). It doesn't pay to be lax with immunizations if you don't want to personally meet pests when you travel. This morning I got shots, pills or testing for tetanus, hepatitis A&B, typhoid and TB. Heard lectures on rabies and various influenza. Hurray, no yellow fever to be concerned about on this trip. All of this at today's visit to the travel clinic. We will take extra precautions with mosquito repellent.
About that pest management, for this team we address mostly insect pests of agriculture, but sometimes plant diseases, weeds and nematodes are part of the project.
