As an epidemiological group, vector-borne diseases continue to pose a major threat to human health and well-being, inflicting a severe and unacceptable public health burden on humanity. This chapter’s goal is to examine several blood-borne vector-borne diseases, including their symptoms, medical laboratory diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Much of the awful burden that mosquitoes and their arthropod allies wreak on people has been avoided in the developed world. their respective nations Malaria and dengue fever are endemic in the Western hemisphere, but the introduction of west Nile virus revealed that we can no longer remain complacent in the face of emerging and resurgent vector-borne disease. Unfortunately, as the burden and threat of vector-borne disease has grown, international public health institutions should strengthen their capacities to address them in countries around the world, particularly through the use of integrated vector management (IVM), which began in Nigeria and has spread to Africa and other parts of the world.
