About this Research Topic
Vector-borne tropical diseases, including malaria and dengue fever, pose significant health risks to populations worldwide. Global changes, such as climate change, urbanization, and globalization, have been identified as key drivers influencing the distribution, transmission, and prevalence of these diseases.
This research topic aims to investigate the impacts of global change on vector-borne tropical diseases, assess the vulnerability of populations, and develop adaptation strategies to mitigate the associated risks.
Specific themes of interest include but are not limited to:
1. The impact of climate change on vector distribution and disease transmission
2. The effects of urbanization and land-use change on disease dynamics
3. Vector Control Strategies in a Changing Environment
All article types accepted by Frontiers are encouraged.
