Blocking transmission of vector-borne diseases
Vector-borne diseases are responsible for significant health problems in humans, as well as in companion and farm animals. Killing the vectors with ectoparasitic drugs before they have the opportunity to pass on their pathogens could be the ideal way to prevent vector borne diseases. Blocking of transmission might work when transmission is delayed during blood meal, as often happens in ticks. T...
متن کاملTransmission blocking vaccines to control insect-borne diseases: a review.
Insect-borne diseases are responsible for severe mortality and morbidity worldwide. As control of insect vector populations relies primarily on the use of insecticides, the emergence of insecticide resistance as well to unintended consequences of insecticide use pose significant challenges to their continued application. Novel approaches to reduce pathogen transmission by disease vectors are be...
متن کاملControl and Management of Vector-Borne Diseases in Disaster Conditions
Disasters are a set of unexpected situations that occur as a result of natural misadventure or human manipulations. Depending on the type, time, and location of the events, the insect population causing vector-borne diseases is affected, which may eventually lead to widespread epidemics. Parasitic diseases such as malaria, leishmaniosis, arboviral diseases such as dengue fever, West Nile enceph...
متن کاملRisk maps: transmission and burden of vector-borne diseases.
maps are outcomes of models of disease transmission based on spatial and temporal data. These models incorporate , to varying degrees, epidemiological, entomological, climatic and environmental information. New data sources such as remote sensing, and tools for computerized mapping [geographical information systems (GIS)] and for quantitative analysis of spatial data 1 provide unprecedented amo...
متن کاملTransmission dynamics for vector-borne diseases in a patchy environment.
In this paper, a mathematical model is derived to describe the transmission and spread of vector-borne diseases over a patchy environment. The model incorporates into the classic Ross-MacDonald model two factors: disease latencies in both hosts and vectors, and dispersal of hosts between patches. The basic reproduction number R(0) is identified by the theory of the next generation operator for ...
