Human Sustainability and Vector-Born Disease Control

Dr. T. P. Sagar

Abstract: Human sustainability has got a close connection with proper management of the diseases that are transmitted by vectors as these diseases rank among the biggest health problems around the world, with over 700, 000 people dying annually. This research paper discusses a One Health and sustainability approach to intervention strategies and environmental aspects of controlling the spread of the disease spread by vectors. This was a mixed-method approach that involved examining the coverage of interventions (e. g., insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS)) against disease incidence and analysis of environmental factors (e. g., climate and land use). Findings have shown that when decent coverage of proven interventions, such as ITNs and IRS, is high, the burden of disease is considerably reduced, whereas climate variability and anthropogenic environmental changes have a significant impact on the ecology of vectors and transmission of diseases. An example is that chronic IRS resulted in an approximate of 85 percent malaria case count reduction, and moderate rainfall raised the risk of dengue until severe rain reduced insect breeding. These results highlight the importance of combined environmentally friendly policies. We find that human sustainability in endemic areas can be obtained by enhancing the multi-sectoral interventions, community involvement, and environmental control to provide long-term and sustainable control of the vector-borne diseases.
