Vector-Borne Diseases Potpourri

Pediatrics in Review
Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has reported that the prevalence of vector-borne diseases has increased in recent decades and that the prevalence of malaria, Lyme disease, dengue, and, in particular, West Nile virus infection are expected to increase further if control measures are not strengthened.

Vector‐Borne Diseases and their Control

Medical Journal of Australia, 1993
Control of the vector is usually a crucial factor in control programs for tropical diseases spread by insect vectors. Successful control programs aim at vulnerable points in the interactions between the vector, the reservoir host, the pathogen, the human host, and the environment.

Vector-borne diseases

1990
The quest for better health and a happier society has always been one of the prime objectives of man. This has persuaded almost all the advanced countries of the world to conquer most of the metabolic, CNS-CVS, viral, microbial and parasitic diseases.

Models for Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases

2006
The development of models for species' distributions is briefly reviewed, concentrating on logistic regression and discriminant analytical methods. Improvements in each type of modelling approach have led to increasingly accurate model predictions. This review addresses several key issues that now confront those wishing to choose the "right" sort of ...

Patterns of change in vector borne diseases

Annals of Tropical Medicine And Parasitology, 1997
The statuses of vector-borne diseases have changed over recent years. How a few such diseases have changed and the primary causes of change (urbanization, increased conflict, changes in water-resource management, ecological and environmental change, and reduced health service resourcing) are the subjects of the present review.

Vaccines Against Vector-Borne Diseases

2021
Arthropod vectors account for a number of animal and human diseases, posing substantial threats to health and safety on a global scale. Ticks are considered as one of the most prominent vectors, as they can parasitize almost any vertebrate class and transmit a multitude of infectious diseases, particularly ones that affect humans and domestic animals ...

Vector-Borne Diseases

2015
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 ...
