Modeling Transmission Dynamics and Control of Vector-Borne Neglected Tropical Diseases
Neglected tropical diseases affect more than one billion people worldwide. The populations most impacted by such diseases are typically the most resource-limited. Mathematical modeling of disease transmission and cost-effectiveness analyses can play a central role in maximizing the utility of limited resources for neglected tropical diseases. We review the contributions that mathematical modeli...
متن کاملCharacterization of dengue virus in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus spp. of mosquitoes: A study in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Dengue is a vector-borne disease caused by dengue virus. According to the recent report of CDC that one-third population of the world are at high risk with Dengue fever.

متن کاملThe rise of neglected tropical diseases in the "new Texas"
Within the last five years, the State of Texas has experienced either transmission or outbreaks of Ebola, chikungunya, West Nile, and Zika virus infections. Autochthonous transmission of neglected parasitic and bacterial diseases has also become increasingly reported. The rise of such emerging and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) has not occurred by accident but instead reflects rapidly evolv...
متن کاملSeven challenges for modelling indirect transmission: Vector-borne diseases, macroparasites and neglected tropical diseases
Many of the challenges which face modellers of directly transmitted pathogens also arise when modelling the epidemiology of pathogens with indirect transmission--whether through environmental stages, vectors, intermediate hosts or multiple hosts. In particular, understanding the roles of different hosts, how to measure contact and infection patterns, heterogeneities in contact rates, and the dy...
متن کاملAdvancement in the control of neglected tropical vector-borne diseases in the 21 Century, with special reference to India
India has the highest burden of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) including neglected vector-borne diseases in the world, which disproportionally affect the poorest and most disadvantaged communities especially those in the regions where there is a complete lack of sanitation and proper facilities to live, and which locks people into vulnerable cycle of poverty and illness. Of the 17 WHO class...
