This chapter introduces and studies vector-borne diseases. The chapter lists a number of vector-borne diseases with their prevalences. A simple two-species model of a vector-borne disease is introduced and studied mathematically. Delay-differential equations are introduced, and the simple vector-borne disease model is recast as a single delay ...

Climate Change and Vector-Borne Diseases
2015Diseases transmitted by insect vectors have a major impact on human and animal health, as well as on the economy of societies. Because of their modes of transmission, these vector-borne diseases-zoonotic or not-are particularly sensitive to climate change.

Vector-borne diseases are carried by insects and cause a myriad of diseases. This chapter focuses on prevention efforts of vector-borne diseases while discussing in detail a variety vector-borne diseases that happen worldwide. The story takes place in India and highlights reasons for not implementing current vector control strategies.

Climate Change and Vector-Borne Diseases
2006In this review we examine formally the conditions under which vector-borne diseases are likely to change, and the directions of those changes, under various scenarios of climate change. We specify the criteria that must be met in order to conclude that climate change is having an effect on vector-borne diseases.

Emerging Vector-Borne Diseases.
American family physician, 2017Several mosquito-borne viral infections have recently emerged in North America; West Nile virus is the most common in the United States. Although West Nile virus generally causes a self-limited, flulike febrile illness, a serious neuroinvasive form may occur.

EMERGING AND RESURGING VECTOR-BORNE DISEASES
Annual Review of Entomology, 1999▪ Abstract Over the last four decades, a number of arthropod-borne infections have been recognized for the first time. Some have become of considerable public health importance, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), and others are spreading geographically and their incidence is increasing.

Landscape Epidemiology of Vector-Borne Diseases
Annual Review of Entomology, 2010Landscape epidemiology describes how the temporal dynamics of host, vector, and pathogen populations interact spatially within a permissive environment to enable transmission. The spatially defined focus, or nidus, of transmission may be characterized by vegetation as well as by climate, latitude, elevation, and geology.

Miscellaneous Vector-Borne Diseases
2000Kissing bugs, tsetse flies, black flies, chigger mites, and human body lice are significant arthropod vectors of disease worldwide. Miscellaneous vector-borne diseases discussed in this chapter include Chagas’ disease, African sleeping sickness, onchocerciasis, scrub typhus, epidemic typhus, trench fever, and louse-borne relapsing fever.
