Despite the considerable progress of medicine, parasitic diseases still pose a great threat to human health and life. Among parasitic diseases, those transmitted by vectors, mainly arthropods, play a particular role. These diseases occur most frequently in the poorest countries and affect a vast part of the human population. They include malaria, babesiosis, trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis and filariasis. This study presents those vector-transmitted diseases that are responsible for the greatest incidence and mortality of people on a global scale. Attention is focused primarily on diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, flies, Hemiptera and ticks.
尽管医学取得了长足进步，但寄生虫病仍然对人类健康和生命构成巨大威胁。在寄生虫病中，由病媒传播的疾病，主要是节肢动物传播的疾病，发挥着特殊作用。这些疾病在最贫穷的国家最为常见，影响着很大一部分人口。它们包括疟疾、巴贝斯虫病、锥虫病、利什曼病和丝虫病。本研究介绍了那些在全球范围内导致人类发病率和死亡率最高的病媒传播疾病。注意力主要集中在由蚊子、苍蝇、半翅目昆虫和蜱传播的疾病上。
