Résumé
The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (Anses) has set up a multidisciplinary working group (WG) to develop an innovative One Health approach for the monitoring and evaluation of an integrated vector management system (IVMS) on a territorial scale. Four existing evaluation guidelines and methods have been combined into a semi-quantitative evaluation approach that takes into account all the dimensions of an integrated process. We propose a set of 34 criteria divided into three sections (obj19ectives and management, implementation, integration) that correspond to the main functional components of an IVMS. Each criterion is assigned a score based on the results of a scoring questionnaire completed by the system's stakeholders, and two graphical outputs are generated using a specific combination of these scores. An overview of the system's performance is provided through a series of pie charts synthesizing the scores for each of the three sections and the corresponding eleven subsections. A radar chart further combines the results according to eight attributes chosen to characterize the qualities of the system. Our approach was tested for the invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus, a main vector of arboviruses, in two French territories with contrasting dengue epidemiology. This approach is intended to be generic and usable in all territories that are at risk of being affected by arboviruses, whether in tropical or temperate regions. Beyond a conventional assessment of the various components of an IVMS, our interdisciplinary and multisectoral approach aims to gain a better understanding of such a system in its environment, its overall functioning and its mechanisms for adapting to contextual change. It also aims to identify avenues for improvement as part of a continuous quality process, and to facilitate comparisons between territories and the cross-fertilization of knowledge between stakeholders.
