Anthropogenic changes and associated impacts on vector-borne diseases

Trends Parasitol. 2021 Oct 19:S1471-4922(21)00238-5. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2021.09.013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUrbanization impacts the community composition, abundance, and richness of mosquitoes. As urbanization processes increase globally, it is important to better understand the biodiversity loss caused by anthropogenic changes and associated impacts on vector-borne diseases. Mosquito surveillance and control are key for reducing the risk of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission.PMID:34686421 | DOI:10.1016/j.pt.2021.09.013
