Seven challenges for modelling indirect transmission.
Vector-borne diseases are
infections transmitted by the bite of infected arthropod species, such as
mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, sandflies, and blackflies . Arthropod vectors are cold-blooded
(ectothermic) and thus especially sensitive to climatic factors. Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)a diverse group of
communicable diseases that prevail on tropical and subtropical conditions in
149 countries an affect more than one billion people and cost developing
economies billions of dollars every year. Populations living in poverty,
without adequate sanitation and in close contact with infectious vectors and
domestic animals and livestock are those worst affected. Effective
control can achieved when selected public health approaches combined and delivered locally. Interventions are guided by the local
epidemiology and the availability of appropriate measures to detect, prevent
and control diseases. Implementation of appropriate measures with high coverage
will be contribute to achieving the targets of the WHO NTD Roadmap on
neglected tropical diseases, resulting in the elimination of many and the eradication
of at least two by 2020.
