The Interaction between Vector Life History and Short Vector Life in Vector-Borne Disease Transmission and Control
Epidemiological modelling has a vital role to play in policy planning and prediction for the control of vectors, and hence the subsequent control of vector-borne diseases. To decide between competing policies requires models that can generate accurate predictions, which in turn requires accurate knowledge of vector natural histories. Here we highlight the importance of the distribution of times...
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 کاملAn equivalence functor between local vector lattices and vector lattices
We call a local vector lattice any vector lattice with a distinguished positive strong unit and having exactly one maximal ideal (its radical). We provide a short study of local vector lattices. In this regards, some characterizations of local vector lattices are given. For instance, we prove that a vector lattice with a distinguished strong unit is local if and only if it is clean with non no-...
متن کاملDefinition of a vector and a vector-borne disease.
A vector can be defined, in a biomedical context, as a living being (most usually an arthropod) capable of transmitting a disease to vertebrate hosts, including humans. A basic distinction can be made between mechanical vectors and biological vectors. Mechanical vectors, in any of the classes of haematophagous arthropods, are infected during a blood meal with a microorganism which is transmitte...
متن کاملSpatial heterogeneity , host movement and vector - borne disease 1 transmission
14 Vector-borne diseases are a global health priority disproportionately affecting low-income populations 15 in tropical and sub-tropical countries. These pathogens live in vectors and hosts that interact in spa16 tially heterogeneous environments where hosts move between regions of varying transmission intensity. 17 Although there is increasing interest in the implications of spatial processes...
