Thanks to decades of successful vector control strategies, vector-borne transmission of Chagas disease has significantly decreased in many regions. Oral ingestion of Trypanosoma cruzi through ...

Emerging vector-borne diseases are an important issue in global health. Many vector-borne pathogens have appeared in new regions in the past two decades, while many endemic diseases have increased in ...

Researchers from the University of Florida Emerging Pathogens Institute and Texas A&M University recently gathered their resources to investigate the potential of vector-borne transmission of Chagas ...

West Nile virus, Lyme disease, dengue fever, and plague are examples of “vector-borne zoonotic diseases,” caused by pathogens that naturally infect wildlife and are transmitted to humans by vectors ...

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University will take part in a new consortium aimed at producing research and training programs related to vector-borne diseases such as those transmitted by mosquitoes and ...

As Haryana tightens epidemic regulations to curb vector-borne diseases, doctors warn dengue is no longer just a monsoon ...

Scientists warn that unpredictable climate swings could bring mosquito-borne disease outbreaks years earlier than expected, urging governments to act now on surveillance and preparedness. Study: ...

Much of the Earth has been modified by humans, which has a flow-on effect on natural ecosystems, including the insects that carry disease. For the first time, researchers have examined when and how ...

In a recent review published in Nature Reviews Microbiology, researchers discussed the impact of climate change, weather, and other anthropogenic factors on vector-borne illness spread globally. Study ...

Aedes aegypti are the primary vector for mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever. However, the effects of climate change-related weather anomalies on mosquito populations is not well understood.
