Question

you will discuss methods used to control vector-borne and zoonotic diseases. 1) Is there one method you think is more beneficial than others? Why/why not? 2) Also, how large do you think is the impact of human environmental change on emerging infectious diseases in animals and man? Support your views.

Answer 1

1). Early detection and intervention is an effective strategy to control vector-borne and zoonotic diseases. Early detection will help to prevent the control of vectors and thereby prevent the widespread disease. It is more beneficial because control measures may be taken at initial part, so controlling can be easy. It requires less cost as most of our control strategy is on preventive rather than treatment. Awareness is the main part of this control strategy which protects the public from vector-borne and zoonotic disease.

2). Ecosystem changes and changes in temperature increases the impact of diseases. An increase in temperature changes the incubation period and increases the transmission of disease. Increase environmental hazards lead to increased exposure and distribution of pathogens. Climatic changes multiply the breeding of vectors. Environmental hazards increase infectious diseases in humans.
