Diseases Transmitted by Vectors: Possible Examples of Lymphatic Filariasis, Malaria and Schistosomiasis Jeyatheepan Jeyaretnam<p>Human health is affected by climate change, which has a significant impact on pathogens (parasites, viruses, and bacteria), vectors, and reservoir hosts, affecting the transmission of many vector-borne diseases. Multiple vectors have expanded their latitudinal and altitudinal range, and the length of the season in which they are active is increasing. It is expected that these trends will continue as the climate continues to warm. In this review, it is presumed that lymphatic filariasis, malaria, and schistosomiasis are a concern, and emphasis is placed on the treatment options for these diseases. This will provide awareness and emphasize the importance of preventative measures such as vaccinations, vector control, and personal protective measures.</p> Open Journal of Tropical Medicine - Peertechz Publications 2025-02-20 Mini Review https://doi.org/10.17352/ojtm.000028 en Copyright © Jeyatheepan Jeyaretnam et al.
