Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vector-borne diseases are caused by parasites, viruses, and bacteria that are transmitted by mosquitoes, ticks, and other vectors. Vector-borne diseases are among the leading causes of death in people living in low-income countries and are of significant veterinary importance. The dependence that most vectors have on specific environmental conditions necessitates a One Health approach to investigating the epidemiology and ecology of these agents as well as when considering prevention and mitigation strategies. One Health approaches integrate multidisciplinary research methods and interventions to optimize the health of people, animals, and the environment.
In this Special Issue, we seek to highlight One Health approaches to health threats by multidisciplinary groups of co-authors to support the detection and mitigation of vector-borne diseases threats. For this Special Issue, we welcome research articles, comprehensive reviews, opinions, communications, and commentaries from diverse fields, including epidemiology, ecology, public health, veterinary health, environmental sciences, geography, and other all aspects of vector-borne diseases.
