One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concept of pest management in public health

Pest management in public health is the systematic application of science and practice to reduce the health risks posed by disease‑carrying pests. Mastering its core ideas—definition, objectives, integrated approach, and the role of surveillance—enables students to design and evaluate control programmes, a key competency in the NUC CCMAS/NBTE/NCCE exams.
