Integrated prevention and control strategies for mosquito-borne infectious diseases from a One Health perspective

Mosquito-borne diseases remain a major challenge to global public health due to their wide transmission range and the diversity of pathogens they carry. In recent years, global climate change, rapid urbanization, and environmental alterations have reshaped the epidemiological patterns of mosquito-borne diseases. These trends include the continuous expansion of transmission areas, accelerated pathogen evolution, and increased risks of cross­species transmission. Under these evolving conditions, conventional prevention and control approaches that operate within single sectors or disciplines have proven insufficient to address the growing complexity of mosquito-borne disease threats. Consequently, building comprehensive prevention and control strategies that span disciplines, sectors, and regions—grounded in the One Health concept—has become a key research focus in global public health. The One Health concept emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, advocating for a systematic approach to addressing complex health challenges through multidisciplinary collaboration, multisectoral coordination, and multilevel cooperation. When applied to mosquito-borne disease control, this approach not only facilitates the identification and interruption of pathogen transmission chains among humans, animals, and the environment, but also enhances the overall responsiveness and control efficiency of public health systems. Building upon the One Health concept, this paper systematically reviews recent evidence on mosquito-borne disease control centered on an integrated “human-animal-environment” perspective. Drawing on local practice cases such as China’s “mosquito-free villages”, it proposes replicable and scalable integrated control paradigms for global application, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
