Disease Vectors

by insects, ticks, and other arthropods and mechanical vectors (vehicles). Also included within the scope of part one are the development, implementation and evaluation of intervention strategies to prevent, control or eliminate arthropod disease vector viral hazards and associated risks. Part two of the Environmental Health Insights Disease Vectors supplement focuses on bacterial agents transmitted by insects, ticks, and other arthropods and mechanical vectors (vehicles). Also included within the scope of part two are the development, implementation and evaluation of intervention strategies to prevent, control or eliminate arthropod disease vector bacterial hazards and associated risks. Part three of the Environmental Health Insights Disease Vectors supplement focuses on protozoal agents transmitted by insects, ticks, and other arthropods and mechanical vectors (vehicles). Also included within the scope of part three are the development, implementation and evaluation of intervention strategies to prevent, control or eliminate arthropod disease vector protozoal hazards and associated risks. This supplement is intended to focus on the identification and characterization of disease vector hazards and associated risks for human health and the environment and development, implementation and evaluation of prevention or intervention strategies to limit disease vector hazards and associated risks. Environmental Health Insights aims to provide environmental health practitioners, researchers and the general public with online, open access to scholarly articles on environmental health hazards and associated risks. The journal aims to explore how these hazards and risks can be eliminated or limited or prevented to help protect human health and our environment. In a field where the literature is ever-expanding, practitioners and researchers increasingly need to have ready access to up-to-date, high-quality scholarly articles on areas of ongoing interest in environmental health. This supplement aims to address this need by presenting contemporary articles by leading scholars, allowing readers to distinguish the signal from noise. We hope that through this effort, practitioners and researchers will be aided in finding answers to some of the most complex and pressing issues of our time.
