News of VPMA activities, events, training and community work.
An article updated on 18 July 2022 in the Vietnam Journal of Preventive Medicine, with Tran Chi Cuong and Tran Vu Phong among the authors, describes some Association activities in 2020 in Hanoi, Ha Tinh and Son La. Some figures differ from items already posted on vpma.vn.
vpma.vn states that the Ministry of Home Affairs permitted the Association to be established under Decision No. 829/QĐ-BNV of 17 September 2019, with the English name Vietnam Pest Management Association (VPMA). The Vietnam Journal of Preventive Medicine cites the same decision number and date.
The FAOPMA Pest Summit 2024, hosted by the Indian Pest Control Association, was held on 7–10 August 2024 at the Westin Mumbai Powai Lake. VPMA members who registered as a group received a reduced fee.
The Vietnam Pest Management Association and members attended the FAOPMA Pest Summit 2022 at the Kyoto International Conference Center, Japan, on 6–8 November 2022, hosted by the Japan Pest Control Association.
According to FAOPMA’s ExCo Update of 15 May 2026, Vietnam is one of three newly approved national members, with Nepal and APJIPMI (Indonesia).
Items from FAOPMA, NPMA, WHO/PAHO, ECDC and other pest-management bodies.
Pest Magazine reported on 16 September 2026 that the British Pest Control Association spoke with MPs and chemical-industry representatives at a Chemical Business Association reception in the Palace of Westminster.
FAOPMA’s news page of 18 March 2026 said the federation had just run an online termite-management class, bringing together nearly 500 practitioners in the region. A May 2026 item on the same page says the Skilltech programme drew more than 500 people from 28 countries.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control’s communicable-disease threat report for week 39 (19–25 September 2026) shows the mosquito-borne disease season still under way in several countries.
The British Pest Control Association published research on how local councils in the United Kingdom provide or refer pest-control services for residents.
The British Pest Control Association introduced a new online course on environmental risk assessment (ERA) for rodenticide use, following the process of the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU UK).
Short summaries of new papers on insects, chemicals and vector-borne disease.
A paper of 8 September 2026 in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases surveyed mitochondrial DNA and insecticide response of Aedes aegypti in Kenya. Coastal populations were clearly resistant to permethrin and still susceptible to bendiocarb, deltamethrin and fenitrothion.
On 11 June 2026 WHO updated insecticide-resistance methods: discriminating concentrations for two indoor residual-spray active ingredients, broflanilide and isocycloseram, and how to read susceptibility to chlorfenapyr.
A VectorIS summary citing CDC says leptospirosis is caused by Leptospira bacteria in the urine of infected animals and can rise after storms or floods. Incubation is often 2–30 days. Prevention includes avoiding swimming or wading in suspect water, covering wounds, wearing waterproof boots, and controlling rodents.
VectorIS summarises WHO’s insecticide-resistance pages: widespread resistance threatens malaria mosquito control. The programme includes GPIRM, a national planning framework, susceptibility-test SOPs, the World malaria report, a DHIS2 tool, a database from 1978, and the Malaria Threats Map.
VectorIS, citing CDC, says Dirofilaria immitis infection in dogs is heartworm disease, transmitted by mosquitoes (Aedes, Anopheles, Mansonia). In dogs it can block the pulmonary artery and cause cough and fatigue on exercise. Prevention is fewer mosquito bites and asking a veterinarian about a prevention schedule. The article names no brand.
Technologies and methods: Wolbachia, attractive targeted sugar baits, emanators, genetic control.
On 30 July 2026 in Jakarta, Indonesia’s Ministry of Health and the World Mosquito Program signed a memorandum of understanding on Wolbachia technology, toward a goal of no dengue deaths by 2030.
The PQT/VCP bulletin of 21 July 2026 said that, as of June 2026, 85 sources covering 37 active ingredients were on the WHO specification list. From 30 May 2026, new product dossiers and variation dossiers must be filed through the ePQS portal.
VectorIS, citing CDC, notes that mosquitoes bite day and night and lay eggs where water is held. With an adult, children can each week empty, scrub, turn over or cover tyres, buckets, toys, tanks, bird baths, pot saucers and bins. They should not handle chemicals themselves.
A VectorIS item citing EPA says rodents may not be seen until numbers are already high. Signs include droppings, nests, gnawed packaging, holes in walls or floors, and odour. Prevention means sealing holes (steel wool can be used), clearing nest sites, and cutting off food and water.
VectorIS summarises a CDC surveillance toolkit: the autocidal gravid ovitrap uses a hay packet and 8–10 litres of water to attract females about to lay eggs (Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Culex quinquefasciatus). It can be left for up to about two months without constant checking.
Vietnamese legal texts on chemicals and on household and public-health insecticide and disinfectant products.
The Department of Preventive Medicine, Ministry of Health, issued Decision No. 97/QĐ-PB on 30 June 2026 on lists and forms for surveillance and reporting under Circular 15/2026/TT-BYT. It takes effect on 1 July 2026.
On 18 June 2026 the Dak Lak reproductive-health centre reported Official Letter No. 4260/BYT-PB of 10 June 2026, sent to provincial and city People’s Committees, on tighter management of chemicals and household and public-health insecticide and disinfectant products.
The Government issued Decree 275/2026/NĐ-CP on 8 July 2026 on administrative penalties in chemicals and industrial explosives, effective 25 August 2026. Section 6 covers household and public-health insecticide and disinfectant products.
The Ministry of Health published 13 amended administrative procedures and 4 abolished procedures in preventive medicine, implementing Resolution 66.18/2026/NQ-CP. Procedures for product registration move to the provincial health authority, applied from 1 July 2026 to 28 February 2027.
The Ministry of Health issued Circular 15/2026/TT-BYT detailing the Law on Disease Prevention on surveillance, disease groups, notification, risk assessment and outbreak response. It takes effect on 1 July 2026.
Permitted to establish by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2019, VPMA connects organisations and individuals who join voluntarily. Its stated purposes are:
“To remain a bridge so members can exchange information, experience and scientific and technical results from Vietnam and abroad.”
Dear members, partners and readers,
On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Pest Management Association for term II (2025–2030), I welcome you to the Association’s website.
The Association brings together organisations and individuals working in household and public-health pest management. In this term, the Association wants to remain a bridge for members to exchange information, experience and scientific and technical results from Vietnam and abroad; to share scientific and technical knowledge with members and the public; and to develop modern, safer methods that raise service quality and reduce unwanted effects on the environment.
As a national member of the Federation of Asian and Oceania Pest Managers’ Associations (FAOPMA), the Association wants to widen links so members can learn from the region, and to contribute to the country’s socio-economic development.
We hope you will continue to work with us and to send comments. Respectfully,
Six links to the pages members and the public open most often.
According to the ExCo Update of 15 May 2026 from the Federation of Asian and Oceania Pest Managers’ Associations (FAOPMA), Vietnam is one of three newly approved national members, with Nepal and APJIPMI (Indonesia).
