Abstract

[Extract] The vector-borne diseases account for approximately 17% of the global burden of communicable diseases and claim >700,000 lives every year. The burden is highest in tropical and subtropical areas. More than 80% of the global population live in areas at risk from at least one major vector-borne disease, whereas more than half are at risk from two or more1. Since 2014, outbreaks of dengue, malaria, chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika virus diseases have afflicted populations, claimed lives and overwhelmed health systems in many countries. In 2016, Zika virus infections and their associated complications directly affected thousands of individuals and families, and caused social and economic disruption.
