Key Facets for\nthe Elimination of Vector-Borne Diseases\nFilariasis, Leishmaniasis, and Malaria

Vector-borne diseases are caused by microbes transmitted\nto humans\nthrough vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and other arthropods.\nThree vector-borne diseases, filariasis, leishmaniasis, and malaria,\nare significant parasitic diseases which are responsible for long-term\nmorbidity and mortality affecting millions globally. These diseases\nexhibit several similarities in transmission, health impacts, and\nthe challenges faced in their control and prevention. By identifying\nthese commonalities and fostering cooperation among disease control\nprograms, we can strengthen our efforts to combat them and hence enhance\nthe health of at-risk populations. This review summarizes the key\npoints associated with the epidemiology, transmission dynamics, and\ntherapeutic regimes for each disease, presenting a holistic overview\nof these three eliminable diseases.
