| contents | <p><span>Vector-borne zoonotic diseases (VBZDs) represent a significant and ongoing public health challenge, accounting for over 17% of all infectious diseases globally and causing more than 700,000 deaths annually. These diseases, which are transmitted to humans through arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies, often involve non-human animals as reservoirs for pathogens. The complex interplay between vectors, pathogens, animal reservoirs, and environmental factors underscores the ecological foundation of VBZDs, making them difficult to predict and control. Climate change, urbanization, and land use are all major drivers of disease transmission, expanding the range of vectors and creating conditions that favor pathogen spread. This chapter provides an in-depth exploration of the ecology of VBZDs, analyzing the key vectors, environmental factors, and host interactions that shape disease dynamics. It highlights several prominent diseases, including malaria, dengue, Zika, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus, and examines the ecological and societal factors that influence their spread. Additionally, the chapter discusses current and emerging control strategies, including insecticides, vaccines, biological control methods, and innovative technologies like genetic engineering and digital surveillance. The future of VBZD control hinges on integrated, multidisciplinary approaches that combine epidemiology, environmental science, public health policy, and community engagement to mitigate the global burden of these diseases.</span></p> |
