Book Chapter
Vector-Borne Parasitic Zoonotic Infections in Humans
2016,2015
Overview
Vector‐borne diseases represent about 17% of all infectious diseases worldwide and they greatly impact on human and animal health. The impact of vector‐borne diseases is largely influenced by the worldwide distribution of blood‐feeding arthropod vectors which transmit pathogens via typical anthro‐ponotic (from human to human) or zoonotic (from animals to humans, and vice versa) cycles. This chapter discusses current knowledge on Vector‐Borne Parasitic Zoonotic Infections (VBPZs) (protozoa and helminths transmitted by arthropod vectors from animals to humans), their epidemiology, and impact on human health. Although VBPZs represent a relatively small number of diseases if compared to those caused by viral and bacterial agents, their distribution is increasing in many parts of the world. Proteomic and genomic projects have refined methods for pathogen detection, control, and prevention by improving the sensitivity and specificity of current diagnostic tools and by expediting the treatment in remote areas.
