Arthropod Borne Diseases
Arthropod-borne diseases, also known as vector-borne diseases, pose significant health risks to human populations worldwide. These diseases are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and sandflies. Examples of arthropod-borne diseases include malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus. These diseases can have serious consequences, ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness and even death. Prevention strategies include using insect repellents, wearing protective clothing, and eliminating breeding sites for mosquitoes and other vectors. Additionally, efforts to control vector populations and improve access to healthcare services in affected regions are crucial in reducing the burden of arthropod-borne diseases on communities.
