Event Insights : Gain more knowledge on Disease Ecology - Ecology and Control of Vector-Borne Diseases - for publication and research. Vector-borne diseases are a global threat to human and animal health. Outbreaks of dengue and chikungunya in Europe, increasing case reports of malaria in Africa, as well as exotic mosquito and tick species spreading into novel territories keep making news headlines. The drivers underlying these phenomena are multi-factorial, and often there is no single cause that is responsible for the observed patterns. Tackling vector-borne diseases, therefore, requires a holistic, integrated approach within which the interactions among the main players (i.e. the vector, the host and the pathogen) are placed in the context of their changing environment.
