The impacts of climate change on vector-borne diseases are uneven across human populations. This pattern reflects the effect of changing environments on the biology of transmission, which is also modulated by social and other inequities. These disparities are also linked to research outcomes that could be translated into tools for transmission reduction, but are not necessarily actionable in the communities where transmission occurs. The transmission of vector-borne diseases could be averted by developing research that is both hypothesis-driven and community-serving for populations affected by climate change, where local communities interact as equal partners with scientists, developing and implementing research projects with the aim of improving community health. In this Personal View, we share five principles that have guided our research practice to serve the needs of communities affected by vector-borne diseases.
气候变化对媒介传播疾病的影响在不同人群中分布不均。这种模式反映了环境变化对传播生物学的影响，而这种影响也受到社会和其他不平等因素的调节。这些差异也与研究结果有关，这些研究结果可以转化为减少传播的工具，但在传播发生的社区中不一定可行。通过开展既受气候变化影响的人群的假设驱动型研究，又服务于这些人群的研究，可以避免媒介传播疾病的传播，在这些社区中，当地社区与科学家平等互动，共同制定和实施研究项目，以改善社区健康。在这篇观点文章中，我们分享了五项指导我们研究实践的原则，以满足受媒介传播疾病影响的社区的需求。
